Drumpellier Nursery Complex

Located within Drumpellier Country Park, off Blair Road, Coatbridge, this nursery hosts a selection of various tropical and temperate plant species with very fine specimens of Cycad palms on view.

To add diversity there are two ornamental gardens attached to the complex which host many visitors for wedding photographs. One of these gardens, the "Peace Garden" is currently being redeveloped and this work should be completed by September 2008.  Additionally, there is a pets corner with rabbits, guinea pig and various fowl, these are a "must see" for children. Within the main glass house there is a water feature housing red eared terrapins; these animals were donated by local people when they outgrew their environment.

The glasshouse units consist of 8 clearspan houses with a total area of 1168 m2. Last year the unit produced 312 hanging baskets, 80,000 summer bedding, 60,000 spring bedding, 17,000 house/flowering plants giving a total production of 157,000 plants for 2008.

Talks on horticulture and various interesting slide show presentations can be requested from this complex. The unit is hosting a new initiative of "Horticultural Therapy" where groups from local community come along and participate in several general gardening tasks such as sowing seeds or potting on, which in turn assists in bringing a tranquil outlook to life.

Floral decorations are arranged with various props constructed and incorporated into the decoration giving a new and inspired look to this once municipal forte.
