AGS show at Harlow Carr - 17th October 2015
« on: October 17, 2015, 06:05:34 PM »
The AGS held an "autumn north" show today in the new venue of the RHS  Harlow Carr garden.
The Best in Show plant at the AGS Show, winning the Farrer Medal, has been pictured here by Lawrence Peet.  8)
- well done Dave Riley who grew  the winning Cyclamen colchicum  which also gained an Award of Merit and a Cultural Commendation from the Joint Rock Committee - that looks like a pretty good hat-trick to me !
 


Thanks to Lawrence for the picture - more photos will appear on his site Lawrence Peet Alpines in due  course.  :)

Wonderful photos, Cliff.  I remember Harlow Carr very well (and Betty's Cafe!).

My word, the autumn colour is really in full glory at Harlow Carr - beautifully captured, Cliff.

Not to be outdone. Some of the plants and a wander round the garden.

We looked at the prices in Betty's and decided we would rather go hungry!
