Tremendously proud of Ian Young of Scottish Rock Garden Club who has been today been awarded the Veitch Memorial Medal by the RHS - my hero!!
Sadly  because  of  the  coronavirus  restrictions  Ian couldn't  travel and  anyway the RHS award  ceremony  was  postponed, so just  celebrating here  with  tea and  chocolate  biscuits!

The  Veitch Memorial Medal

Well done  Ian, I am VERY  proud  of  you! I would  have  loved to  have  been  able  to see  you given the  award  in  London- but  so pleased  that President  Julia Corden was  going to keep you company! Shame  you've  both been done  out  of  a  free lunch!

Brilliant, and very much deserved.

Very well deserved  indeed. Note also an award  for Peter Sandwell   who worked for Dundee parks including  running the Dundee flower show.
