and a rich display of spring bulbs.
The garden is set around an early nineteenth-century house (not open to
the public), built by a Melrose joiner, who named it after the Jamaican
pimento plantation where he had made his fortune. It is situated on the
A6091 next to Melrose Abbey, near Priorwood Garden & Gift Shop, also
owned by the Trust.
A good selection of shops is available in Melrose including those selling
knitwear, tweeds, books and antiques.

Attraction
From Harmony, it is only a short walk to Priorwood Garden
abd Gift Shop.
Priorwood is a specialist centre for the craft of dried flower arranging.
Most of the flowers are grown for this purpose and the colourful selection
brings variety to the arrangements made here.
You can also learn more about this fascinating craft as there is ongoing
drying most of the time.
Otherwise you can simply enjoy the blossoms, especially in spring, or
pause for a summer picnic within sight of the ruins of Melrose Abbey.
The garden also includes an orchard where you can see the historic apple
varieties being grown organically.
