My bulk supply of copies for distribution to advertisers arrived this morning so it won't be too long before your copy arrives through your letter box, or by download. Also included will be a bit of a bonus, or at least we hope you will regard it as a bonus!
I'll make my usual plea to do please support our advertisers wherever and whenever you can. A good spread of regulars in this edition, with some 'returners' as well and also a couple of new advertisers. Growwild Nursery will already be a familiar name to Forumists ( http://www.growildnursery.co.uk/ (http://www.growildnursery.co.uk/) ). If you are in holiday planning mode and Switzerland is in the offing then you could do much worse than plan to visit the Botanical Alpine Garden at Schynige Platte http://www.alpengarten.ch/en/ (http://www.alpengarten.ch/en/) . After reading the article in The Rock Garden you won't be able to resist.

Journal in the post to overseas members at the end of the week and to the UK next week, I believe. I'll post a note when the online version arrives and is loaded for the E-subscription members.

We visited alpine garden at Schynige Platte last early June. It was spring in the garden with gentiana, ranunculus, heaps of pulsatilla alpina in full bloom and a lot of other plants. It was a fantastic and unforgettable experience. The railroad there gives you a chance to be driven from summer to spring with a marvelous bonus of enjoying stunning views. The area around Interlaken (nearest city) does offer a lot of attractions. So both the garden and the area nearby is a must for everybody. I hope the article in the journal when I get it will bring back my wonderful memories

My copy just dropped through the letterbox. Many thanks for your help with the advert David and the SRGC for supporting our nursery :)

Happy to help Lisa, thanks for supporting the Club.

The latest issue of The Rock Garden arrived in Aberdeen today - and so did the pdf for Online Members which is now loaded for them via their special pages. :)
-
It's here too! I will be settling down to read an article or two when I retire to bed.
In the meantime, David, well done and thank you for compiling such a comprehensive and useful list of nurseries. Some favourites on there and some new to me, to which I will have to arrange a visit sometime. Patrick had never heard of Timpany (despite being just a stones throw from his home town) ::) - so we'll pay them a visit in June!

Another excellent read; congratulations to contributers and the editorial/production team.
[Online members also get a peek into the future, with the November 2016 Seed Exchange list ;) ;D ;D How's that for service? 8)]

Many thanks Matt, glad you found it useful. You must go to Timpany, Susan grows some lovely stuff.

I've seen the nursery list on her website - lots of lovely Primula for us! - and have resisted mail ordering only because we have a trip already booked. A delayed pleasure worth waiting for I'm sure.

Thanks David, mine here too. Look forward to reading it tonight.

You're welcome Gary.

Hi David just echoing everyone else's comments, the nursery list will be really handy. I have the rock garden loaded onto my iPad for a bit of late reading ;D
