Bravo the gang, what a stupendous effort you all made.  And well done on the medal too!  You've done us proud....

[Lina Hesseling]

Great! Congratulations!
Enjoy the rest of the days now!

Lina.

[Carol Shaw]

Congratulations to all the team a  well  deserved award...

Just got back from Gardening Scotland.  Sorry, no pics - you will have to wait for Stan's input.  Stand looking lovely and lots of interest from the public.  Everyone wanted to buy a plant or seed of (Cyril's) Lilium lophophorum amongst others.  Feet melting and hips buckling by lunchtime after a morning on the stand, when I was set free to spend time with my friends from Aberdeen.  Great day, even if it took me over an hour to drive the 9 miles home.  If I was flagging I dread to think how Liz and the others will be feeling by the end of the day let alone by the end of Sunday.

[Stan da Prato]

a quick tour round the finished stand

[WimB]

Wonderful stand  , congratulations to the team for the "Silver Gilt"

[Graham Catlow]

Great display
Congratulations and well done to those who put it together.
Had hoped to be there, but work life balance tipped the wrong way today. Will be there Sunday.

[David Nicholson]

Well done team.

[DaveM]

Congratulations!!! Very well done to the team - it's good to see that all your hard work has paid off. Bet you had fun as well!! I shall look forward to seeing the display tomorrow.

Many congrats also go to Beryl McNaughton of MacPlants, Stella and David Rankin of Kevock and to Billy Carruthers of Binny Plants for their success, all members of the Club.

Good to know you enjoyed Gardening Scotland Maureen, from experience you just keep going on the wave and adrenalin and then crash at the end of it all!

Many congrats also go to Beryl McNaughton of MacPlants, Stella and David Rankin of Kevock and to Billy Carruthers of Binny Plants for their success, all members of the Club.

...and Glendoick, Hartside, Jacques Amand.... they're all SRGC members too..  and those are just the ones I know! 


 PS .... Beechgrove Garden on BBC 2  at 20.30 hours this eveneing... hoping for a glimpse of SRGC stand and other SRGC connections! 

[Maggi Young]

Some gems in the Beechgrove TV coverage of GS.
Starting with Jim McColl being photographed across the SRGC stand as  he introduces the programme, with some nice shots of various members of the SRGC Team during set-up, scattered throughout the programme.

I'll try to get some screen grabs later to show here.

Jim Jermyn, Show manager, another SRGCmember is featured , as you might imagine. Presenter Carole Baxter is also a member and members pop up all over the place.... Beryl McNaughton is interviewed in her capacity as sponsor of  the Poppy Charity garden. Peter Foley  (who used to run Holden Clough Nursery - now taken over by his award winning son, John) has cooperated with the Dalgety Bay Garden Club.  George Anderson of the RCHS, another Beechgrove presenter, chooses the Lilium lophoporum and tall Meconopis from the SRGC stand as his favourites.... great coverage from the Club's point of view!

Now, though, I must take the dogs out. They've been waiting very patiently

[Tim Ingram]

What a plant that lily is! So curious with the petals joined at the tip. Thank you for the pictures taken all around the exhibit. Did anyone take pictures of Kevock's stand? Or other displays?

[angie]

Great display folks. After seeing all the work that had went into the display through this forum it made me appreciate it even more. Fell in love with that lovely dark leaved Celmisia,  Well done to everyone that contributed to the display, you did the SRGC proud.

Something is going wrong with me, I came away with only two plants  I remember the days that I had to make a few trips back and fore to my car with plants.
I could have filled my car with all those choice plants on our display though, Graham your plants were looking lovely.  Hope Cyril's Lilium lophophorum makes it to the end of the show, so many folks were admiring it.

Well done again to everyone.
