Taming the unruly.

Nature is the protagonist at Jupiter, and this week it took centre stage in the Ballroom Garden through a Niffing workshop led by the brilliant Jennifer 'Niff' Barnes. Gardeners and horticulturalists gathered to learn the quiet, alchemical art of winter pruning and shaping, creating living forms that will unfold over time into sculptural bursts of rose blossom.

Simple, effective and deeply considered, Niffing is about working with nature rather than against it. This workshop added another layer of care and craft to the landscape, shaped by shared knowledge and time spent looking closely.

Thank you to and everyone who took part for creating something lasting together. Niff plans to return in summer, with further workshops to follow.

These intimate, specialist sessions are just the beginning. More unique workshops and learning experiences are already taking shape for 2026.

We can’t wait to welcome our brilliant makers and artisans back to the Steadings and Glasshouse for the final weekend of Christmas at Jupiter.

The Christmas Fair brings together over 30 independent makers from across Scotland, filling The Steadings with ceramics, textiles, prints, jewellery and seasonal treats. Alongside this, our Jupiter shop is carefully curated with artist editions, Jupiter-designed pieces and thoughtful keepsakes created in response to the park and exhibitions.

It’s a chance to meet the people behind the work, shop with intention and find gifts that feel personal and considered.

Open this weekend as part of Christmas at Jupiter.
