Gardening Scotland 2015

[Stan da Prato]

Rob had repaired missing rock work so we could plant the ridge mainly with Ian's celmisias then worked on the north corries and damp side. It will not show in the photo but the planted sections are not quite finished as they need levels etc. sorted, labels added  and pots disguised so plenty still to do

It will be most interesting to see where that Coke can appears in the final stand......! ! !

That rather depends on how successful your campaign for sponsorship is, doesn't it? 

[Richard Green]

Hmm, it might take more than just one can to persuade them Maggi.

Some useful close ups there from Alan. Several  members came along today so good progress was made. We had to call a halt as we ran out of gravel.

Alan Elliott is working not only on the stand but also on the possible sponsorship deal mentioned yesterday.....



here we go again .... Ian Christie and Stan da Prato discuss the finer details


testing the best place for the can is taking time


Following complaints  on Twitter from an English supporter ( and Galanthophile) that Irn Bru was more appropriate, Alan E. made speedy  adjustments ....

[Maggi Young]

Always a helper at GS  is Peggy Anderson, former SRGC Treasurer


Ian the Christie kind is still busy

Photos from Alan E. who says : " Right that's everything planted and topdressed on our @Gardening Scotland stand! "









Now there will be the tidying and fine-tuning to be sure all foliage is perfect  all labels correct and no dead flowers and so on....
