On this page we will keep you up to date with the goings on at Crûg Farm Plants...

Crûg Farm Plants at Gardening Scotland Show:
Friday 4th to Sunday 6th June 2010

When I was in Lucca last year I met up with Jim Jermyn who was busy promoting Gardening Scotland 2010. He persuaded Ben (World of Ferns) and I to exhibit in Scotland this year for the first time.

So it is with great excitement that we are getting ready for the long drive to Edinburgh. I shall be taking lots of goodies to tempt you all. Anybody wishing me to take plants up please either e-mail me of telephone BEFORE the previous Tuesday.

Come and see us at Stand No 74

RHS GOLD MEDAL AT RHS VINCENT SQUARE

It was very gratifying to be awarded a gold medal at this years RHS spring show in London. Edward Elves was pressed ganged to come out of retirement to help us put the display together. His experience was invaluable and assisted us greatly. Not forgetting our dear friend Tricia Hughes who hand wrote all of the plant names so beautifully for us and kept us watered and fed at the show, as well as her daughter Katlin who provided us all with food and lodgings in her Portobello apartment.

It was wonderful to meet so many established and potential customers and to put a face to our mailorder customers, who took the trouble to visit the stand.

It was a gruelling few days before the long drive home through the night. Thick snow and roads works was the order of the day. Arriving home at 3am When will spring arrive??

(If you missed it you can still watch it on iPlayer) Tune in to BBC2 on Friday 13th March at 8pm and watch a programme called Plant Addicts! Yes you have got in one we are the addicts!! We were given a video camera by the BBC to take on our 2006 expeditions so you will be able to see extracts of us in the field (we hope). They spent a day filming here on the wettest day of 2007 when the rest of the country was flooded. So please do join Carol Klein as she seeks out the addicts, we are sure it will be entertaining.
