Advice and Workshops at Gardening Scotland (May 2010)

Lots of visitors who come to Gardening Scotland every year are enthusiastic and knowledgeable gardeners but increasingly many visitors are new to gardening and want to find out more.

Fortunately the Show can provide them with an unrivalled line-up of top gardeners and leading experts all ready to impart their advice.

For the first time this year a group of Scottish Garden Designers will be running a stand where visitors to the Show can find out everything they’ve ever wanted to know about working with a garden designer.

The BBC Scotland Beechgrove Theatre will be hosting talks and workshops with Scotland’s top TV gardening team, and radio presenter Mark Stephen will be inviting Gardening Scotland visitors to pose questions to the panel during recordings of Radio Scotland’s Beechgrove Potting Shed.

Meanwhile the Garden Roadshow in association with DiscoverIreland.com will be pitching its caravan in The Dobbies Floral Hall.  Here a team of top gardening journalists will be giving lively advice throughout the three days of the Show.  The line-up will include Martin Fish from Garden News and Sarah Hopps and Geoff Stebbings from Garden Answers Magazine.

In addition, every single one of the stallholders in The Dobbies Floral Hall is an expert in their particular plants.

Meanwhile in The Earthy Green Garden, STV gardener Pete Jackson will be answering every possible question on grow-your-own and recycling.  So if you wonder why your lettuces are bolting and your wisteria is wilting or you want to know how to grow potatoes in your patio, Gardening Scotland 2010 is where you’ll find the answer!
