Over the last ten years, we have developed the The Moorhouse into a thriving cutting garden, growing a magnificent range of plants to produce fabulous cut flowers. Visitors are always welcome to attend workshops and tours to experience the seasonal delights of the garden and see first-hand what can grow at such a high altitude and northerly location.
