Welcome...

 |
 |
Situated just
south of Grantshouse, beside the A1 at Houndwood.
This charming cottage Tea
Room offers a warm welcome to local residents and travellers
alike!
There's ample parking space,
a secluded garden and the added attraction of the wonderful
fuchsia plants available from this specialist Grower all year.
|
| The Centre and tea
rooms is run by the Argent family, Les, Heather and Helen.
It's Les who is the gardener
and he's always pleased to talk to visitors and advise them on
which variety of fuchsia will suit them best. There
are over 10,000 varieties to choose from although not quite
all of them are here at Houndwood! Whether
you want an tender, indoor plant for your greenhouse or a
hardy type to survive all weathers, Les can help you choose
and advise on it's care and propagation.
Heather is the cook and
provides delicious home-made breads, buns, cakes and candies
to accompany freshly made teas or coffee and locally produced
honey is also for sale. |

Her daughter Helen has great
artistic talent and an eye for a charming variety of carefully
chosen gifts and curios.
They include garden tools &
decorations, accessories & greetings cards, candles,
toiletries, jewellery, glassware & china as well as a few
attractive hand knits and embroidered items.
