A new glasshouse at Inverewe Garden on Loch Ewe in Wester Ross is now in operation. Glasshouses are essential at Inverewe because of its founder, Osgood Mackenzie’s, pioneering approach to plant collecting, which included importing many tropical and half-hardy species which need the right conditions to propagate. The new facilities will ensure that future generations will be able to enjoy these rare and exotic plants. www.nts.org.uk
