SAGS at the GardeningScotland Show Ingliston, June 2007

Friday, June 29th, 2007
SAGS is part of the Scottish Natural Heritage’s Garden for Life Forum. This June we were represented at the GardeningScotland Show at Ingliston, Edinburgh on “The Living Garden” stand. One of its key aim was to encourage people to make more sustainable choices in relation to gardening techniques and products used and that peoples’ perception of gardening in terms of the wider benefits increases.

The show garden, complete with mini allotment, recycled plastic decking, a wind turbine and a wildlife pond was awarded a bronze medal. SAGS representatives answered a stream of questions from where to find an allotment to what to grow on it. We even had some enquiries about allotments from overseas visitors!
