The show returns to the hall at Fairmilehead after a two year hiatus due to the virus. This afternoon local members set up the staging and began to bring plants in.

Due to taking rather a lot of plants your correspondent won the Reid rose bowl for most points, the Henry Archibald rose bowl for 3 plants from different genera, the Midlothian vase for best rhododendon and the Alf Evans quaich for an ericaceous plant other than a rhodie.

The hall looks so much better with that dark red area on the lower wall painted grey!
Some super award winning plants there- and well done to Richard Green! Richard does so much for the Club in all manner of ways, on top of his work as SRGC Treasurer, so it's a wonder he has time to tend such lovely show planrts! Welll done, Richard.
Great pix, Stan!! And congrats on your own "haul" of awards! Your ilk are a Show Secretary's dream!
Terrific to see the Shows back again!
