My visit to Gardening Scotland 2005
« on: June 08, 2005, 09:22:03 »
Here's some pictures from my visit:-

One of the show gardens

 



Couple of views of the Best Show garden (MRI Scanner Appeal Wishing Well)





Loved this view of another show garden



Onto the Floral Hall

Clematis Florida Sieboldii



Bit blurry, sorry

The display from the only Gold Medal winner in the Floral Hall (I didn't see any other gold medals there anyway)



And some Cacti

Great pics!  Love all of those cacti in flower.  And I simply adore that waterfall with the beaver at the top and the moss covered wood.  Ooooo ideas ideas!

Like the best show garden - looks nice & wild.  The cacti are very alien-looking, aren't they?!  Don't think I've ever seen a display of cacti in flower like that before.

Hi Greenwizard, yes I enjoyed the show but it didn't quite have the wow factor that I expected. It was showery so I didn't get as many pics as I had hoped. Got some new plants though which helped make it all worthwhile  :)
