Note re 'Gardening Scotland' event
« Reply #4 on: May 04, 2014, 08:27:50 PM »
The RHS Joint Rock Committee will meet at the Gardening Scotland Show on 31st May, though there is no S SRGC show at the event. If you have any plants you wish to present to the committee please contact Carole Bainbridge by email at greenscenedesign@hotmail.com

The SRGC will however, build a display stand at this event, as in previous years.
The SRGC display team will present this year's effort as a tribute to the late Graham Wenham, a valuable member of the team who passed away on March 25th this year.
See this thread for the story of the  SRGC's 2013  exhibit.
