Wow, that's looking super!  Love that last shot of the 'drift' of flowers through the rock crevice - I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you all, such good work....

[Carol Shaw]

It all looks great... makes me almost wish we were there but I doubt my back would thank me for that! Whether you get a gold or not you've done a fantastic job!

[ichristie]

Dear all, your efforts look great we wish you the very best of luck with the judges and hope they recognise something very special, all the best Ian the Christie kind

stand finished and a few photos attached courtesy of Clive Davies - he has taken  quite a number  and they may be the basis for a feature  in the club journal. Beechgrove  filmed the stand today and it should be shown  tomorrow evening in Scotland i.e. Friday with a repeat on BBC2 UK wide on Sunday morning.

[Maggi Young]

My word - it looks terrific! 
I think everyone involved with this project should be very proud of themselves for producing such a handsome display for the SRGC - well done to you all!


Edit: Clive Davies is the official photographer of the Royal Caledonian Hort. Society - thanks to Stan and  Clive for these photos

[Carol Shaw]

I am totally impressed with the work you have all put in and waiting with bated breath to hear if you have a gold medal... Give my love to Big John Amand please.

[Graham Catlow]

Outstanding It really is amazing what you have done. That must be a Gold this year.

[David Shaw]

Well? Someone must know by now

[Carol Shaw]

Yeah! Just downloaded the awards pdf the team got a well deserved GOLD MEDAL Whilst Kevock got a Premier Gold...

Congratulations from down south too, where Meconopsis and Primulas are just a dream! It's really nice to see the build up to displays like this for those of us aiming to do similar things. Very many congratulations to Kevock too!

Congratulations to all the team.  Haven't seen the stand since Tuesday, but I could see it was heading for Gold.  Won't manage to see it now it's complete, as I stupidly booked a holiday without realising the dates!  Congratulations also to all our other members who have stands of their own and have done so well.
