Post by: Maggi Young on June 03, 2011, 03:25:30 PM
From 3rd to 5th June  Gardening Scotland, Scotland's largest garden show, will take place at the Royal Highland Show Ground, Ingliston, near Edinburgh.

The SRGC will be present at the show with a publicity stand and is contributing to a show stand in partnership with  SRGC Members David and Stella Rankin of Kevock Gardens.

Latest News from Edinburgh.......

Kevock in collaboration with the SRGC  has won a Gold Medal and the Alf Evans Award for the best commercial alpine exhibit.   8)

Huge congratulations to the Rankins and all the SRGC helpers who have made such a super stand.  Thanks to them all and for those who will be working hard all weekend to staff the Club Stall.
