Dear all, I have been asked to let you know that our great friend Jim Price from Northern Ireland passed away on 26th Dec, he was only in hospital overnight and very active until recently, always thinking about his plants. Jim and Ann and I were friends for over 30 years he always had some special words to encourage the growing of plants and just loved getting a cutting of something special. Jim was very active within the Ulster group and won many red tickets, his garden was a real treasure which I enjoyed looking round when I stayed with him on visits to the show. We will miss him a very dear friend and fellow plantsman, cheers Ian the Christie kind.
