A neglected and overgrown garden on Forres High Street is being transformed into a welcoming educational and wellbeing space by local gardening fanatics.

Steve explained that the garden was filled with brambles from top to bottom, and they’ve slowly turned it into a space for flowers, bushes, edible plants, herbs, and even poisonous plants that they will use to educate people on foraging.

Ashers Secret Garden will open fully to the public soon, but for now it’s open to visitors and volunteers from Monday to Saturday 8am to around 2pm, just to the left of Ashers Bakery. Everyone is welcome to sit, chat and enjoy.
