A Summer Event to Celebrate Rock Gardening
This new event celebrates the fact that the SRGC is a garden club and the plants which members grow.
It will illustrate and the beauty, diversity and garden worthiness of the widest range of rock and
woodland garden plants, bulbs, shrubs and trees, to encourage their cultivation in gardens and to
encourage the exchange of plants and knowledge among gardeners. The display is not intended to be
floral art.
‘Flowers of the Hills and Mountains’
The event is in FOUR PARTS
Four short talks on 'My Garden'. [c 30 min]
Barry & Cathy Caudwell ‘Creating a garden by the Tay Estuary’ in Abernyte, Perth
Bette Ivey ‘Transforming my Garden’ in Cupar, Fife
John Owen, Askival - Trials Tribulations and Joys in Fort Augustus, Inverness-shire
Ian Bainbridge on creating a ‘Crevice Garden’ at Easter Howgate, near Edinburgh
In these short talks these enthusiasts describe the development of their beautiful gardens and some of the plants that they grow and propagate.
A display of rock garden plants, flowers, foliage and fruit featuring:
rock plants in pots,
bulbs,
cut stems of flowers,
cut stems of shrubs,
cut stems of trees
We want a much wider range of exhibits than the usual shows allow for, celebrating plants in
flower, using cut stems, as well as plants in pots. We want members to show plants suitable for
most gardens, as well as any special plants or plants for special situations.
Seedling and plant exchange
Members can donate pots of seedlings of which they have enough transplants for their own
needs to share with other members
Pots to be labelled- variety, sowing date, source and number eg SRGC 2011 No. 1234
Plant Sales

displays and any other plants. All plant sales on a ‘50:50 basis’.
