FORUM 2010
For some time now we have wanted to hold the annual Forum in Scotland, and this is the year we do so. It will take place over the weekend of the 25th and 26th September, with one day devoted to talks on a Scottish theme, and the other for visiting some of the splendid walled kitchen gardens in the Scottish Borders area.
The event will be based at the Dryburgh Abbey Hotel, St Boswells, with coach trips on the Sunday to the gardens which will include Mertoun House, the family home of the Dukes of Sutherland with a productive walled garden dating back to the 16th century; Floors Castle with a very fine walled garden and restored glasshouses and Abbotsford, once the home of Sir Walter Scott, who took a keen interest in his garden.
To register interest or for further information, please email fiona.grant@walledgardens.net
