Our forebears Thomas and James of the Backhouse Nursery grew and won prizes for their beautiful ‘Guernsey lilies'. We believe the name came from the bulbs floating onto the island shores from a shipwrecked vessel and establishing themselves. See our Collection of Nerine and x Amerine cultivars on display in the former vinery. This display forms part of the work we are doing at the Backhouse Heritage and Education Centre which brings our forebears’ important horticultural heritage back to life for you to enjoy. We close on the 30th September – so do drop in before then or come to our next event, Apple Mania on the 14th and 15th of October….more details coming soon.

Come and see our stand at Beechgrove Gardeners' Question Time in Cupar Corn Exchange ! Today from 4pm.

Backhouse Rossie Estate farm with natural cottage style plantings, there is also a more formal lovely walled garden. We look forward to seeing you - for opening times see website.

English rose, Scottish thistle what a lovely event for two great people, flowers grown and arranged by Backhouse at Rossie Estate !

Tropaeolum speciosum climbing through the trees on the front lawn, this spectacular climber (red or yellow flowered) can be difficult to establish but well worth the effort, you will be rewarded with cascades of brilliantly coloured flowers - looking lovely at the moment!
