Gardening Scotland 2013 will take
place in June 2013 at The Royal Highland Centre,
Edinburgh.
GARDENING Scotland, the national
gardening and outdoor living show, is delighted
to welcome back top garden and home retailer,
Dobbies Garden Centres, as a sponsor in 2013.
Dobbies has been an integral part of the Show
since it was launched in 2000 and this year the
company is extending its sponsorship to cover,
not just the Floral Hall, but the popular Pallet
Garden area as well.
Martin Dare, organiser of Gardening Scotland,
says: “Dobbies is the country’s leading
garden centre business and Gardening Scotland
is the premier show, so we are delighted to be
associated with them once again.”
This year the Dobbies Floral Hall will be filled,
not just by some of the top growers in the UK
selling an extraordinary range of plants, but
also by some of the most ambitious exhibits ever
staged at the Show.
Meanwhile the Pallet Garden section, which is
organised by the Scottish Gardeners Forum, is
expected to attract more than 50 entries from
schools and gardening groups across Scotland,
who will compete to create the best miniature
gardens.
The Show will feature Show Gardens,
College Gardens, a spectacular Floral Hall, dozens
of conservationists in The Living Garden, family
fun in The Big Back Garden and lots more.
In 2010 the show attracted top growers
with international reputations and more than 35,000
visitors who spent, on average, more than £100
each on plants, gardening accessories, food and
craft products. In total more than 400 exhibitors
took part.
Organiser, Martin Dare, said: "Gardening
Scotland has been going for just a decade, so
in Show terms it is still relatively young, however
it has built a strong audience and a reputation
amongst growers for being a high-spending show.
"It takes place at prime planting
time and the visitors who attend have a real passion
for plants."
Talks are already underway with
sponsors, designers and exhibitors about plans
for next year's Show, which is expected to attract
one of its biggest audiences yet.
Tickets for Gardening Scotland 2013 will go on
sale on 1 December 2012.

THE Edinburgh-based landscapers who have just
won the British Association of Landscape Industries
(BALI) coveted ‘Grand Award’ are to
create a show garden at Scotland’s national
gardening show.
Water Gems (Alba) Ltd, in collaboration with designer
Carolyn Grohmann of Secret Gardens, will use Rebar,
the steel rods used in the construction industry,
to create the ‘Reinforcing Nature’
garden at Gardening Scotland 2013.
The garden will feature a natural pond surrounded
by drifts of Astrantia, Stipa ‘Wind Whispers’
and Ranunculus supplied by Binny Plants of Ecclesmachan
and the Rebar will form a woven ‘ribbon’
that will thread through the water before rising
up to form a shelter and a walkway.
Nick Benge, managing director, Water Gems said:
“This is a large and ambitious Show Garden
but we have the necessary technical skills and
the planting expertise to pull it off and it will
be exciting to create something very special for
our home audience so soon after winning the BALI
Grand Award.”
Jim Jermyn, show manager, Gardening Scotland said:
“We are delighted to be welcoming the BALI
Grand Award winners to Gardening Scotland 2010
and in a year when the standard of Show Gardens
is set to be the highest in the event’s
11 year history, we are confident that Watergems
along with Secret Gardens and Binny Plants will
come up with something exceptional.”
Other Show Gardens already confirmed for Gardening
Scotland 2013 include a ‘City Slicker’
garden by Primo Landscaping; a celebration of
their own Avant Garden festival by Dougal Philip
