Two Stewartry intiatives scooped top accolades at Scotland’s Finest Woods Awards presented at the Royal Highland Show.
Johnston Nursery in Kirkcudbright won Scottish Forestry’s Acorn Trophy for early years settings which instill a love of trees and woodlands in young children.
It was described by judges as “a superb example of what can be done by the nursery community and someone with a vision”. The nursery bought a small patch of nearby woodland and the children, with adult help, have made it their own.
