Poyntzfield Herb Nursery is a specialist herb nursery on the Black Isle near Dingwall in the north of Scotland, growing a wide range of kitchen, aromatic, dye and medicinal herbs.
Raised in a cool northern climate, the plants are naturally hardy, with varieties to suit ponds, rockeries, pollinator borders and shady corners.
Plants, seeds and reference booklets are sold by mail order, mainly in spring and autumn, and the nursery welcomes visitors from spring through to early autumn. It closes on Wednesdays, so plan your visit for another day.

I ordered a range of plants for my new herb border by mail order and they are absolutely super. The box arrived quickly, carefully packed, and the aromatic smell of the herbs as I opened the box was wonderful. The plants are really fresh and healthy, and a decent size too. With a little water they rested well and were planted into the final home this morning, looking good. I'll definitely order from Poyntzfield Herb Nursery again.
These guys are amazing. I've ordered three or four times from them. The plants arrive in good shape and - as long as I plant them properly - they do really well. They've also got a great selection of rare and unusual plants. I can't recommend them highly enough. And if they're out of stock for some things it usually means you've left it too late in the season to order.
Been wanting to visit Poyntzfield nursery for a good while, following a recommendation from a friend. It's worth a look if you're into gardening and a bit of herbalism as there are some really interesting plants - both to see and to buy, and we found the folks there very helpful.
Wonderful place full of great plants and lovely humans 😍
Perhaps better to order online as this really is far, far away. The selection on sale was avant but the service was friendly and helpful. I have ordered online from here before and received healthy plants that have established well, and the same thing has happened this time. The substrate in the plant cells is very good, most plants get established quickly once planted.
Rebuilding the food system, from the farm up
Bear in mind that this is a specialist herb nursery and NOT a garden centre and you won't be disappointed. If you want medicinal or culinary herbs or you want to create a poison garden then this is the place for you.
