Post by: Stan da Prato on March 19, 2016, 06:16:53 PM: Certificates of merit for Tom Green and Anne Chambers and the trophy for section 2 as well as the bronze medal for George Gilkes from Oban. I received the Carnegie Trophy for most points due to bringing most plants. As they are scattered around the show I have taken a snap of most of them after unloading and before watering and dispersing again- many of these will now go into the ground some in a community garden. Makes me wonder whether I should just put then into the show hall like this!
