Well that's the first of the bookings coming in and we have SOLD OUT of all the single rooms in the first post
so there are no single rooms left at the Atholl Palace
But we have a plan there are a number of other accommodation providers we can sort for you BUT if you are hoping to get a single room please contact me soon
Pitlochry will be very busy in October due to the Enchanted Forest light show which attracts over 60,000 people over about 5 weeks and the accommodation price s go up!!

The show entries are coming in! If you're coming to the Discussion Weekend and wondering whether that plant will be ready or not, bring it along anyway! It's always a joy to see the different range of plants that are performing at this end of the season. Show entries can be sent to me at perth.show@fireflyuk.net and late entries will be accepted. you can find the show schedule at:
http://files.srgc.net/show_info/2018SRGCdwe.pdf
Staging 4-5.30pm on Friday and 8-9am on Saturday. Look forward to seeing you all and your plants in Pitlochry!

Some Gentians on floor of the greenhouse to keep rain from marking the flowers -normally they live outside as do most of my plants.

Meanwhile, at the AGS Show in Harlow Carr- Alan Furness has won
the Farrer Medal
Best in Show there with the lovely autumn crocus, Crocus banaticus 'Snowdrift' - photo from Twitter by Vivien Self -
Well done, Alan!
edit to clarify - Crocus was awarded Best in Show but not Farrer Medal.
