We have always supported the sustainable and ethical approach to Scotland’s natural and human resource. Our support goes further than our own makers, timber supplies and community woodlands. We have been active followers and fund raisers for Social and multi benefit forestry around the world for over 40 years!!! Great organisations like Reforesting Scotland is one of them.

The Big Tree Society Courses regularly held throughout the year are always fully booked. It looks like we are going to be booked through until June 2019. Timber Tokens or gift vouchers are available on the Big Tree website. They make a great surprise present for partners, friends or colleagues. Have a look at the amazing range and list of courses for yourself. www.thebigtreesociety.co.uk

We always have beautiful willow basket work and artworks in the gallery. Three great makers Lise Bech, Catherine Davies and Anna Liebmann are represented throughout the year.

Despite some awful weather since Christmas we have had our busiest winter months in over 20 years here at Buy Design. Thanks to a very loyal customer base (and some very nice new ones), we have the workshop busy for the next few months making tables and chairs. The courses run by The Big Tree Society are proving once again to be a great additional attraction and activity to the gallery, Harestanes Centre and the Borders accommodation providers generally. Over 200 people have fully booked up the courses for 2018. We are always looking to support and sell on behalf of new Scottish based makers and artists. If you someone that would like to showcase their work please get in touch.
