A set of step ladders allowed high vantage points  of the club stand and Kevock next door. Our plants have been brought to the show in club members cars. The vehicle used to  bring  plants  for the big Caley stand which will dominate the entrance  to the floral hall is rather larger.

Crumbs! I hope you only have to write about those big plants on the Caley Stand and not lift 'em, Stan!

Well, you can call me biased - but I think the SRGC gang  already have the stand looking great!

Members of the RHS Joint Rock Garden Plant Committee  are in Sweden visiting Göteborgs botaniska trädgård. Few Scots are able to attend since many members are busy with preparations for Gardening Scotland #GS2016 Show this weekend.
Luckily the RHS and AGS members have finished with Chelsea at this time.

The keen eyed will spot Peter Semple and Sandy Leven, both former SRGC Presidents.

....final photos for today. Tomorrow others  will clear up our mess and get the stand ready for judging  in the late afternoon. It is always good to have fresh eyes when looking  for any mistakes.
