We have received this message from Alain Denis.......

"Our plant sale was definitely a success thanks to the weather first and to our hosts Mrs and Mr Spas who warmly welcomed members and public in their magnificent garden. It was
a very pleasant day and many of the 2500 plant pots have found a buyer. I attach some pictures.
 
I have seen the pictures of the SRGC’s stand on the forum. It’s really a huge work the members have done and the result is well deserved Gold Medal. The blue meconopsis and red ones
(M. punicea I guess) as well as the primulas, Paris and Cyps are wonderful. Very good job and all our congratulations for this award!
 
Next year the plant sale will take place in Paris. We will give more details in due course.
 
Best regards
Alain"


We are very pleased to hear the event went well - here are the photos of the event  sent by Alain ....

"Botanica" visited the sale and has posted some photos (of the sale and the beautiful garden where it was held)  across in the North American Rock Garden Society forum - spreading the word!
