Plant Hunters Paradise

by Gardening Scotland on April 27, 2010

Every year a very long list of top nurseries and growers from across the UK fill The Dobbies Floral Hall with stunning flowers. Well this year that list is set to grow with the news that Gardening Scotland 2010 will feature more floral exhibitors than ever before, including some with international reputations.

If you are looking to indulge a passion for gorgeous plants then you won’t want to miss this year’s Show because amongst the new exhibitors will be renowned plant hunters Bleddyn and Sue Wynn-Jones from Crug Farm Plants.

When they are not working in their nursery in Wales, Sue and Bleddyn are usually to be found in some of the most distant parts of the world, including North Vietnam, Nepal and the Philippines seeking out the next plant sensations.

World of Ferns, also from north Wales, is the UK’s leading specialist fern nursery selling tropical and hardy species from around the world. They’ve won gold medals at almost every other major Show in the UK and this year for the first time they’ll be bringing some of their rare and unusual plants to Gardening Scotland.

Other leading nurseries that will be taking part for the first time include Bell Nursery from Kirriemuir while Rumbling Bridge Nursery will be collaborating with Hawthorn Castings on a major exhibit and Quercus Garden Plants from Fife will also be exhibiting in tandem with Scotland’s Gardens Scheme.

Meanwhile Gardening Scotland will be welcoming back many regular exhibitors including Fir Tree Pelargoniums, Hardy’s Cottage Garden Plants, North of England Bonsai, Cairsnsmore Nursery who specialise in Heucheras, Alpines and Primulas and Harts Nursery with their wonderful lilies.
