Branklyn Gardens, Perth

[FrazerHenderson]

We were at Branklyn last week and saw the crevice rocks waiting to be positioned. The garden was showing well - it has to be the best two acres in Scotland. Jim and Petra also on grand form.

Great trip rounded off by splendid cakes and tea on the lawn - oh, so very civilised.

If you're in the area do visit and from further afield, it's well worth the trip. Looking forward already to a return visit to view the crevice garden.

Was cheered to see this image posted elsewhere by the  Branklyn Garden team - surely the tea tastes better with these .....
