Hundreds of plant lovers from across Scotland will be in Livingston on 28 September for a new, exciting Autumn gardening event. This free public event at the Howden Park Centre appeals to both the seasoned gardener and those with a general interest in plants.
In addition to a large competitive plant show, there are gardening talks, family-friendly workshops, the chance to meet experts and TV gardeners to discuss gardening issues as well as plenty of opportunity to purchase plants from many specialist nurseries from across Scotland and northern England.
If you want to know more about, for example, plant-hunting or Scotland’s mountain plants, or find out about the weirdest and wackiest plants, or build a garden in a fish-box, or even see the Scottish heritage apple collection then come along. Everyone is welcome.
