garden visit to Glasgow and surrounding area
« on: January 16, 2009, 05:45:36 PM »
After the failed forth coming trip to the Czech Republic the Ulster Group thought we would go to the Malvern Show and surrounding area. It's now off too due to ferry times, bus cost from Stranraer etc.

We are now planning to be based in the Glasgow Hilton, visit gardens in the area and take in Gardening Scotland. woo-hoo!

Are there any great gardens in the area?
