Activity

Garvald House is situated near Biggar in the Scottish Borders and consists of a large main house with a number of converted outbuildings. It also has a number of acres of land, a large portion of which is made up of woodland. Garvald is a residential unit that provides both accommodation and support services for adults with learning disabilities. It is a voluntary organisation that has charitable status. They have a numbers of acres of woodland which they are restoring by removing conifers and rhododendrons and replanting with native species. We will be planting up a new area of woodland on the edge of the existing woodland.
