What an amazing weekend we had welcoming visitors to our gardens last June. Huge thanks to garden owners; volunteers, those who donated prizes, baking, plants, their musical ability, bus-driving skills, car-parking space, money, goodwill and TIME! We are just as thankful to our wonderful visitors who came in good weather and bad to make our first StrathPetal a really lovely event. See our short film. Thank you all!
