As those of who who have listened to his first podcast can tell, Connor is a Scotsman with a rather nice accent - which I am confident will not be any barrier to understanding, no matter where you come from!
Connor has worked at various interesting nurseries, both in Scotland and around the world and is now based at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Edinburgh. He is a member of the SRGC Council.
He has recently begun a blog -
"A Scotsman's Perpective"
and also last winter began a diary for the Alpine Garden Society -
"A Scottish Horticulturist's Diary"
Connor speaking at Murabilia Gardening & Plant Fair in Lucca, Italy in 2019
Connor has also travelled with grant support - for example from the Merlin Trust for a Schachen Alpine Garden Placement - he wrote about that for both the Rock Garden and the International Rock Gardener for SRGC.
I hope you will all spread the word about the Scottish Rock Podcast!

Fifth episode of the Scottish Rock Podcast - The Garden in the Sky
Connor Smith looks back at his time at the Schachen alpine garden in Southern Germany last year.
A truly otherworldly garden surrounded by mountains.
Connor says " Number five is out as I recall my time at the Schachen alpine garden in Germany.
From now on I am going to be posting the podcast episodes on the first Wednesday of every month.
Unfortunately, like all things, coronavirus has affected the production capabilities of the podcast."

Connor Smith writes : "The recent episode as we are joined by Jay Akerley will be the final episode of this season
The podcast has now reached over 1,000 listens and has had listeners in 37 different countries around the world.
In the future, I am hoping to have 4 episode blocks on a specific theme with experts in that field. They would be posted all within one month - to save the month waiting period per episode. A similar format to the international rock gardener.
Cheers for all the support, and I hope you have enjoyed it thus far!"
Thanks to Connor for all his work on the Scottish Rock Podcast - we wish him even greater success in the future!
(PS The International Rock Gardener free e-magazine continues to appear on the last Friday of each month!)

Fantastic!
Many thanks to all involved!
We, the passive members of SRGC, are very lucky having such a generous, openminded and innovative spirit among all the nice persons that do all the work for us.
