Spring is hopefully not too far away. The named "Snowdrops" planted in the garden are building up into nice clumps now and providing an attractive display which should last for quite a few weeks - more varieties to get planted out. It will keep Sean busy.
'Happy New Year' to all our friends and customers. Look out for us at the various Alpine `garden Society and Scottish Rock Garden Club Events over the next few weeks. Plants are already starting to grow including lots of 'Snowdrops" and early flowering Alpines and Primulas.
A number of special Plant Collections have just been added to our Web Shop - order soon in time for Xmas - and continue to follow our latest News here or on our Facebook page - link to it from the "Home Page" on our website. https://t.co/ozgUpMRhIJ
Sue and I were thrilled to be awarded one of the Alpine Garden Societies highest awards at the AGM yesterday - The Lyttel Trophy - in recognition of our being "Stalwarts in growing a range of Alpines, Bulbs and Dwarf Shrubs and supporters of a range of AGS and SRGC Shows."
Come and see us at Harlow Carr on Saturday with a range of wonderful Japanese Saxifrages in flower, plus Autumn Gentians and much more. The last Alpine Show this season.
Looking forward to the joint AGS/SRGC Show this coming weekend at Hexham. We will have a range of seasonal Gentians and Saxifrages plus freshly lifted Erythronium bulbs to plant now for spring flowering as well as Dwarf Rhododendrons and much more - see - https://t.co/O7s7ALL3WU
Looking forward to seeing the Show tomorrow and so many interesting plants. We will be there with a stand of Gentians, Primulas, Erythronium bulbs etc.
A busy day earlier this week on the new crevice garden with Ian and Carole Bainbridge plus Tracy and Sean. We are getting on well with the planting and top dressing, it is looking really good. We are so grateful for all the work of the AGS Young People in June getting us started!
We have been adding "new" things to our webshop - Autumn Flowering Saxifrages, Autumn Flowering Gentians, Dwarf Rhododendrons and various other additions. We will be attending events through the Autumn, including AGS/SRGC Shows plus the Kirkcudbright Plant Fair.
We will be at Dalswinton Mill on Sunday 6th August with a range of plants for sale, some of the "New" Autumn Flowering Saxifrages, plus Ferns, Roscoea's and Autumn Flowering Gentians, plus a range of Alpines etc. A wonderful garden to visit - open under Scotland's Garden Scheme.
Our WebShop is now open again for Mail Order. Look out for some exciting "New" Japanese Saxifrages and a range of ever popular Autumn Flowering Gentians.
@plantagogo Well done once again, your stands always look SO GOOD! We haven't done Hampton for a while now, not sure we miss it or not? See you somewhere soon.
The final day of the @AlpineGardenSoc Young Persons Conference was a brilliant day at @HartsideNursery exploring the range of Roscoea and other specialities, and learning the craft of crevice garden building with Ian and Carol Bainbridge. Thanks to all the organisers.
