Some places are designed to be hurried through. This isn’t one of them.

Tucked beside the pass of Brander, Corachie is a living garden centre built around the quiet joy of finding something unexpected. From over one hundred varieties of clematis to freshly brewed coffee and speciality cakes at Honeysuckle Café, everything here invites you to stay a little longer.

Just plants, people, and time well spent.

What awaits at the Corachie?

Things worth slowing down for;

    A rustic kitchen scene featuring glass jars of sourdough starter on a wooden table, with a notebook filled with handwritten recipes, a brown bowl of flour, and a beige fabric apron, illuminated by soft natural light from a window.

    A walk through the Polytunnel

    Move slowly through rows of clematis, seasonal colour, and plants grown for this landscape. Light shifts through the tunnel all day, and no two visits feel quite the same.

    Pause at Honeysuckle Café

    Fresh coffee. Homemade scones. Warm soups on colder days. A quiet place to sit after; or simply somewhere to slow down for a while.

When we first started growing clematis back in 1988, we simply wanted to grow exceptional plants and share them with people who loved gardening as much as we do. Over the years, that passion has taken Corachie from a specialist wholesale nursery supplying garden centres across Scotland and into England, to welcoming visitors here at our own garden centre in Bridge of Awe.

Today, you'll find more than one hundred varieties of clematis, alongside carefully selected climbers, shrubs, and seasonal plants that we've chosen with care. Whether you're looking for something specific or simply taking your time exploring, we hope you leave feeling inspired and perhaps with something new to grow.

We look forward to welcoming you to Corachie.

Reflections from those who’ve been inside the experience.

  • The best coffee I have had in the area. The millionaire shortbread was also ten out of ten. And you can sit in the polytunnel surrounded by plants and wee birds flying about. Loved it.

  • The best garden centre in the area. Really well stocked (plants, planters, decorations, small gardening equipment, treatments, compost etc etc), plants are healthy, everything is reasonably priced. The staff are super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The cafe is outstanding from sandwiches to cakes and coffee. There is outdoor kids area with swings, large carpark. Highly recommend.
