A fine example of SRGC members working in concert!
All involved are staunch SRGC supporters and this promises to be a really good day out at
No.3 Lamberton, Berwickshire ,TD15 1XB Scotland

At the end of August, we might even hope for good weather!

For those wishing to make an order to Potterton's  or Macplants beforehand, click on their names to be taken to their web addresses.


Lamberton is only one hour from Edinburgh and only a little more from Newcastle upon Tyne. The nursery is in the very south east corner of Scotland, close to the A1. If travelling south on the A1 take the second exit for Lamberton which is on the dual carriageway, cross the road bridge and the nursery is up the narrow road almost dead ahead. If travelling north follow the signs for Lamberton immediately after entering Scotland.

Thanks to google maps for these screen grabs, showing the location  for the event.....

Ian has just taught me how to put the writing on the picture, Rob -  it's good to have a live-in "Technical Director"!    To my shame  I've never been to Ron and Susan's, so I needed Ian to check I'd got  the right place, too.
One of these days, though......

........ Saturday 31st August 2013 would be an ideal day Maggi.

Would we need to bring our own plastic bags?   

[Rob Potterton]

You need something bigger than bags David .... lots of LARGE plastic trays plus ready cash.

Received a phone call from Ron this morning, the drought ended 2 weeks ago and the monsoon is now in full flow  .... this should be enjoyed by his extensive Himalayan plant collection ...... just over 4 weeks to go until the Open Garden Event you cannot miss !!!!!

We know that  friends are coming across from  Norway specially  to visit the Open Day! They're dropping in here en route - maybe I should smuggle myself in their car!

[Rob Potterton]

Our thanks to all who supported the event last Saturday, a great crowd of folk from both sides of the border (and Norway & Canada) enjoyed a warm, sunny day, Ron & Susan's garden looked superb and both were in fine form. A steady flow of folk frequented the sales area and the afternoon talk was well attended.  See you in 2014.
