The Floral Hall, Gardens and Coffee Shop is a unique visitor attraction that offers a tranquil break amidst beautiful floral displays. It was opened in 1993 by Prince Edward and has been inspiring local gardeners and visitors from all over the world ever since.

Our climatically controlled glass house features winding pathways along which you can discover a superb array of subtropical plants, a cascading waterfall and a pool full of friendly Koi Carp.

The adjoining cactus house shows an award winning range of succulents from all over the world with many of the specimens provided and maintained by experts from the Inverness Cactus & Succulent Society.

The outdoor garden, which is sheltered by a large stone wall, presents innovative colourful displays including mixed trees and shrubs, heathers, herbs, seasonal and mixed plantings all within a fine range of ground level and raised beds.

Younger ones will be sure to find, hidden among the shrubs, the teddy bears, mole and tortoise - superb examples of chainsaw carvings. Further along the pathways, past lawns and shrubs, you will come upon a large rockery area flanked by the colourful cottage garden and wild flower plantings. The Coffee Shop is adjacent to our Reception and is franchised to Mrs Lang. It offers good value light refreshments and light lunches including soups, sandwiches, filled rolls and paninis as well as delicious home baking. On the wall of the Coffee Shop hangs the works of local amateur artists and these mini-exhibitions are changed each month. Visiting groups should contact the Coffee Shop direct on 01463 229778 to make arrangements and to discuss any specific requirements. We are graded as a 3 Star visitor attraction by Visit Scotland and our project for people with learning disabilities won the Green Apple Gold Award for Scottish Councils for its environmental practices.
	The Floral Hall & Training Centre is a unique and valued facility of The Highland Council within its Education, Culture & Sport Services as a section of Community Learning & Leisure.
