EVENTS

Photographic Exhibition Explorers Garden, Pitlochy 31 March - 31 October
Photographs of China by Martin Walsh

The SRGC is building their own, smaller, stand this year. Help is needed in setting up the stand, loaning
plants and shrubs and being present at the actual event to sell seed, talk to visitors and generally promote the Club. For further information please contact Liz Mills 01383 852321 liz.saline@hotmail.co.uk


Flowers of the Hills & Mountains SRGC Summer Meeting
18 August 10:00am to 4:00pm
Dunblane Christian Fellowship Hall
This new event celebrates the fact that the SRGC is a garden club and displays the plants which members
grow. It will illustrate the beauty, diversity and garden worthiness of the widest range of rock and woodlandgarden plants, bulbs, shrubs and trees, to encourage their cultivation in gardens and to encourage the exchange of plants and knowledge among gardeners. The displays are not intended to be floral art.
The event is in four parts:
Four 30 minute talks by SRGC members on the theme of ‘My Garden’
A display of rock garden plants, flowers, foliage and fruits.
Seedling and plant exchange.
Plant Sales.
In addition space will be available for a display of photographs and artwork.

This is a ticket only event with two talks by Tony Hall of the Royal Botanic Garden Kew on the topic of
‘Natural Relationships within the Juno Irises: A Review’. For further information contact Barry Caldwell

From Sandy Leven:


Dear SRGC members and friends,
this note is to remind you [or to tell you if you did not already know] that the SRGC is holding The Summer Meeting, 'Flowers of the Hills and Mountains' in the Victoria Hall and the Christian Fellowship Hall in Dunblane on Saturday 18th August. This is a new club event and we hope it will be well supported.
Details are in the SRGC Show Schedules sent out with January 2012 Journal. I have attached the show schedule and the piece I hope will appear in the Stirling Observer is written below.

I hope some of you can help with plant sales on the day and with teas and coffee. We are not having the big catering event like we have at the spring flower show. People can bring their own lunch or buy stuff at Tesco or M&S. This will make organisation easier. Tea and coffee will cost £2 for the whole day.

I hope some of you will bring along plants in flower. A novel aspect this time is to invite people to bring cut flowers/ foliage and show these in vases of water or tins with moist sand.This is not a competition and we want to share as many types of rock plants as possible.

Another innovation is the seedling exchange where you can bring / buy pots of seedlings as distinct from big plants.

Plants for the 50:50 plant sale wll also be welcome.

 Hartside, Christies and Rumbling Bridge nurseries will be at the show. You will have the chance to buy new plants for your own garden.

The 'My Garden' talks will be at 11 - Barry & Cathy Caudwell, 12 - Bette Ivey, 2 - John Owen and 3 o'clock  Ian Bainbridge with questions at 3.30 in the Christian Fellowship hall. Each talk will be ticketed at 50p per ticket. There will be prize draw after each talk.

Please let me know if you can help on Saturday 18th August

best wishes and hope to see you next Saturday
Sandy Leven

GARDEN EXPERTS TO BRING MORE SUMMER COLOUR TO DUNBLANE
The Scottish Rock Garden Club is hosting its Summer Flower Show and Plant Fair in the Victoria Hall in Dunblane on Saturday 18th August. The non-competitive format allows growers to exhibit the widest range of plants grown for flower and foliage, as well as public access all day, from 10 am till 4pm. There will be wonderful pots of flowering plants as well as cut flower exhibits to show the huge diversity of plants grown by SRGC members. Commercial nurseries will offer a wide range of hardy plants for sale.
Accompanying the flowers is an A3 photographic display,  ‘In Search of the Blue Poppy’, a record of trips to Bhutan made by Julia Corden of The Explorers Garden in Pitlochry. This exhibition ran all last summer in Pitlochry and has just finished its spring / summer display at Ben More Botanic Garden, Argyll.
At hourly intervals during the day there will be four talks on ‘My Garden’, in the Dunblane Christian Fellowship hall, next door to the Victoria Hall. Four prominent members of the SRGC, which is Scotland’s largest horticultural society, will talk about how they created and developed their own gardens in Fife, Tayside, Inverness-shire and Lothian.
While the Flower Show and Plant fair are free, the small charge of 50p will be made for each talk. Everyone is welcome to attend to come along to be enthused by the displays, buy some new plants for your own garden and learn from the experts.
Find out more from Sandy Leven 01786 824064 or http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=9242.0
