Floral hall’s new sponsor

THE organisers of Gardening Scotland have announced that New Hopetoun Gardens has entered into a three-year deal to sponsor the show’s famous floral hall.

Dougal Philip and Lesley Watson, who own New Hopetoun Gardens and have in previous years created winning gardens at the event, will create a display at the hall’s entrance.

Gardening Scotland 2012 will take place from June 1-3, at the Royal Highland Centre, Ingliston.
