Hilda Houseplant Hospital
Book slot via link | 22nd & 23rd May
Appointments are limited, so advance booking is recommended.
We’re delighted to welcome The Hilda Houseplant Hospital to Scotland’s First Houseplant Festival.
Founded in Edinburgh, Hilda specialises in helping people care for their houseplants through their dedicated Houseplant Hospital service. For the festival, the team will be running a special pop-up clinic where visitors can bring along a plant that may need a little attention.
Plants will be checked in during a 15-minute drop-off appointment, before being treated using the same methods used at the Hilda Houseplant Hospital in Edinburgh. This may include repotting, soil refreshes, pest checks, or care advice depending on what the plant needs.
Visitors are free to enjoy the festival while their plant is being cared for, and will receive a text message when it is ready to collect later that day.

Participants are invited to bring their own plant pot, and you’ll have plenty of colourful yarns to choose from at the workshop.
