Gardening Scotland 2005

I attended 'Gardening Scotland' on Friday 3rd June. My overall impression was one of disappointment. There were a few outstandning displays but there were many very ordinary stalls. I would be interested to know what others thought, has the extra day at the Chelsea show made it too difficult for some growers to attend both events?

RE: Gardening Scotland 2005

I have to say I agree with you melrt968, I went on Sunday and although I know the displays can be a bit tired on the final day, I was expecting some really great designs to inspire me. There were a couple of good ones that I thought were worth taking photos, but overall it was disappointing that it was not as good as those in the past have been.

I had promised 'no new plants' but we stayed til the end and the bargins were just too tempting. But, with Arisaema for £1 each there was no way to pass them up! Of course once his wallet was out it was easy to get more plants LOL

It will be awful if this is what the future displays are to be like. Maybe the organisers will actually take other shows into more consideration and arrange the dates accordingly. But then, maybe the designers will achieve a better show next year as, to be fair, this was the first year Chelsea had been extended so they did have a bit of a learning curve this year.

Well, that's just my 2p worth :o)

The cost of thoughts has increased! It used to be a penn'orth, but at 2p that is 5 penn'orth. Old McDonald.
