    A Special Book Launch in Pitlochry We’re proud to A Special Book Launch in Pitlochry

We’re proud to shine a spotlight on local Pitlochry author Caroline Bavey, who is currently leading the restoration of the Explorers Garden right here in town.

As part of the Winter Words Festival at Pitlochry Festival Theatre, Caroline will be launching her new book From Heather to Himalayas on Friday 13th February at 10am, in conversation with Alan Cumming. 

This beautiful new book tells the story of the Explorers Garden restoration, following in the footsteps of Scotland’s great plant hunters over the past 300 years. Their journeys, discoveries, and the lasting legacy that lives on today through the garden and its community connections.

From winning an RHS Gold Medal to bringing new life back into this special green space, this project has truly been a labour of love.

All profits from the book go directly back into supporting the future of the garden. Helping it continue to thrive for generations to come.

Tickets are almost sold out, so if you’d like to be part of this celebration of nature, heritage and restoration, now’s the time.

Let’s show our support for local talent and an incredible community project.
