Highlights of Gardening Scotland 2007

The Highland Hall was once again transformed into a blaze of colour with exhibitors, many straight from Chelsea Flower Show and from all over the country. Exhibitors had on show plants and flowers never before seen in Scotland, that were there to be purchased and taken home.
