Is there any parking at the church or somewhere nearby?

Hello Alan - there is limited parking at the church- usually all taken early by exhibitors and nursery folk with lots to unload - there is street parking all around the area, however and it is possible to drop off and pick up less mobile visitors near the entrance.
Hope this helps.

Thanks Maggi - that's good to know.

Hilary and Graeme at Rumbling Bridge Nursery are under snow - again - but they're still going to have good plants for sale on Saturday - here's a selection.....

Not only bad news for nursery folk - it's not good for farmers either - or their stock:

At MacPlants, this is the scene today

Yesterday at Binny Plants ......

I reckon day out to a nice comfy show hall with all the added attractions on offer is a great idea for Edinburgh folks this Saturday!

Nice message from Christine Walkden about the difficulties faced by the nurseries in the bad weather ...

@ChristineWalkd

Keep up the great work. I understand that its very difficult for you all at the moment but you bring so much pleasure to everyone with your lovely plants, please hang in there. The weather will change at some stage. Best wishes.
