Today a busload set off south from Edinburgh to first visit Carolside in the Borders on the banks of the River Leader near Earlston. Trip organiser Billy Carruthers had arranged for the owner Rose Foyle to show us round. Tea and home made cake were then taken. We then drove east via a lunch beak in Duns to Edrom Nursery where there were more refreshments, a trough and woodland garden to admire and plants to buy - these last filling the boot.
