A superb talk from David Rankin of Kevock Garden Plants explaining what goes into taking their wonderful displays to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show each year.

GARDEN OUTINGS 2022

The June garden visit took place on Wednesday 22nd at 2pm to a garden called A Blackbird Sings in Longniddry. This interesting suburban garden has been created by the owners to show specific groups of plants in a series of borders and beds, with ponds of differing sizes creating a delightful peaceful atmosphere. There were around a dozen members attending on what turned out to be a glorious, warm, sunny and most enjoyable afternoon.
