Please join us for the first Scottish Borders Rock Garden Group meeting of our 2025/26 programme. Our speaker will be Dave Millward, SRGC stalwart, who will present "Fire and ice: springtime in southern Chile" - some of the exciting alpines of the Andean volcanoes south of Santiago, including rosulate violas, oxalis and calceolarias and an incredible array of orchids. There are also insights into the 'primaeval' monkey puzzle forests and the rare Valdivian (temperate) rainforest. Lots of lovely alpines, but also much that we grow in our gardens, including Crinodendron, Embothrium, Tropaeolum, Gaultheria, Escallonia and Fuchsia.
The meeting will take place at 2pm at Bowden Village Hall, Bowden, Scottish Borders (3 miles south of Melrose, 2 miles west of Newtown St Boswells).
Admission is still only £2 which includes tea or coffee and home baking at the end of the meeting as well as a ticket for the raffle. There will also be plants for sale.
Everyone welcome. We look forward to seeing you there.
