Lands of Loyal Garden Open Day

I am really not good at this Blog thing, I am so behind with it but our Garden Day was too brilliant not to tell you a little bit about it.



It was on Sunday 27th June and for most of the day the sun shone. We'll ignore the tropical thunderstorm from 4pm onwards. The poly tunnel plant shop did a roaring trade with my mother taking charge of the sales, yet never quite mastering the till. Whilst brother Jo took on the financial end of the BBQ, which was aptly named 'Something Delicious in a Bun'. Even though he refused to wear the flowery pinny I had made out of an old curtain specially for the occasion.
Everyone of the staff was involved and the day was a great success, it was well supported by Alyth town and we were delighted to have the Flora and Hortus florist from Kirriemuir and For Art's Sake from Scone also contributing to the activities. The brass band led by George Annan of Pertshire Brass was very well received and really added to the summer garden party atmosphere. Herald Events brought along Capt'n Hogwash who ran an excellent Pirate training camp in the garden, some of the children were so excited about the prospect of going to a proper Pirate school they dressed up for it.



I will be delighted to hold another Garden Open Day next year when we will build on our experience in this our first year and present another great day, come and enjoy it with us, Sunday 26th June 2011. We will be continuing to support both Scotland's Garden Scheme and Help for Heroes with our plant sales throughout the year.
