As a heads up to anyone planning to visit this great show. There is a Classic Car tour round Perth based on Tay Street. As a result at some point during the day there could be delays on the Old Perth Bridge (the one leading from Scone and Blairgowrie) there also might be restricted parking around Tay street.

Lovely weather at Ardfearn today as plants for sale at Perth tomorrow are prepared......
"Excited to be taking these lovelies down to Scottish Rock Garden Club show in Perth tomorrow!
After this year's winter and very slow spring, it's great to see the plants looking so good. Over 200 alpine varieties, and counting, so far... :-)
Apologies for the rubbish quality of photos, but we're keen to get packed up to see if we can fit them all in the Ardfearn-mobile!"
