About Gardeners

A gardener maintains outdoor spaces - mowing, pruning, weeding, planting and keeping things tidy through the seasons.

A regular local gardener takes the effort out of keeping your plot in good shape year-round.

Be clear upfront about what's included in a visit - mowing, edging, weeding and pruning are all different conversations.

About Stornoway

Stornoway is the largest town in the Outer Hebrides and the administrative capital of Na h-Eileanan Siar, built around a natural harbour on the east coast of Lewis.

The town is the commercial and cultural hub of the islands, with Lews Castle and its grounds dominating the harbour and a busy fishing port that remains central to the local economy.

Na h-Eileanan Siar is the council area covering the Outer Hebrides, a chain of islands stretching 130 miles from the Butt of Lewis in the north to Barra and Vatersay in the south off Scotland's north-west coast.

Stornoway on Lewis is the only town of any size and serves as the administrative, commercial and transport hub for the islands. The rest of the population is spread across crofting townships and small villages on Lewis, Harris, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist and Barra — communities connected by causeways, single-track roads and inter-island ferries.

The islands are the heartland of Scottish Gaelic language and culture. Gaelic is spoken as an everyday language here to a degree found nowhere else in Scotland and the traditions of crofting, weaving, fishing and storytelling remain central to island life. Harris Tweed — handwoven in the homes of islanders from locally dyed wool — is a globally recognised fabric and a vital part of the local economy.

The landscape is extraordinary: white shell-sand beaches on the Atlantic coast, ancient standing stones at Callanish, the mountainous terrain of Harris, the flat machair grasslands of the Uists and some of the darkest skies in Europe. Wildlife — sea eagles, otters, seals and vast seabird colonies — draws naturalists from around the world.

CalMac ferries connect the islands to the mainland from Ullapool, Uig on Skye and Oban, while Loganair flights serve Stornoway, Benbecula and Barra — where the beach at Traigh Mhor famously serves as the runway. Despite the remoteness, the islands have a strong and self-reliant community life shaped by faith, Gaelic culture and the rhythms of the sea.
