Entrance to Hopetoun Farm Shop And next door is New Hopetoun Gardens Garden Centre - quite the best garden centre I have ever visited.  Yes, it has a decent tearoom and gift shop, but its huge range of plants available make it supreme and above all other such centres.  I speak as a happy customer and not as an owner!
