Introducing our Plant Buyer, Dougie
Few people bring the depth of knowledge and instinct for plants that Dougie Cumming does. With more than 40 years of experience, his journey began in landscaping, where he learnt first-hand the importance of plants that not only look beautiful but also stand the test of time. That grounding in practical garden design continues to influence his work today as Plant Purchase Manager at Carbeth Plants.
Dougie’s role is rooted in curiosity and careful selection. Every season, he handpicks plants that will delight customers, whether it’s a statement shrub, a classic perennial, or something a little unusual. His landscaping background gives him a unique perspective—he doesn’t just look at a plant as a product but imagines how it will grow, change, and bring life to someone’s garden for years to come.
What sets Dougie apart is his quiet dedication. He doesn’t seek the spotlight, but his fingerprints are all over Carbeth Plants’ collection. Thanks to his expertise and instinct, customers can trust that the plants they take home are not just healthy but thoughtfully chosen with care and decades of experience behind them.Share
