A snap of myself from George Watt-readers will be disappointed that I didn't make direct contact with the 400volts.
Then the  Partner which has replaced the Berlingo  loaded  on the-dry -ice rink ready  to go home.
Well done  to Alison and all her team at Perth.

Thanks again Stan for another comprehensive overview of the show.

I think you must already  be powered by 400volts to deliver and present all your plants and then to take and share all your pictures from the shows.

Your dedication is very much appreciated by those of us unable to attend.

The Perth Team had the bright idea to hold a propagation workshop to encourage old and young .....


An interactive Propagation Workshop attracted the young and 'young at heart' to get planting


Maybe the next generation of 'Rockers'
