What a good cause for Helen and Bill McGregor to open their garden for :) Thanks for showing your photos of it.

They work so hard for there opening days, they too like your brother had so much damage caused by deer and the hard winter. The garden is one and a half acres and is so pleasant to walk around there is so many treasures to see.
I am glad you enjoyed photos.

Angie :)

There's no doubt that Meconopsis, Nomocharis and similar plants love the Scottish climate. It looks like a beautiful garden and so many plants flourishing. Thanks for introducing us to this very nice place and its clever owners.
