Presentation: Steve Halliwell – Logan Botanic Gardens
 |
| Steve with his newly published book "The Snowdrop" |
Steve walked and talked us through Logan Botanic Garden with illustrations from his visit to the gardens which were established in 1869 at the south-western tip of Scotland.
Voted 'Best Garden in the UK' 2021, Logan enjoys an almost subtropical climate and its walled garden includes one of the remaining walls of Logan Castle. We thanked Steve for what was a most interesting and comprehensive talk.

There is still a lot of interest in our gardens at the beginning of November, with some plants even flowering again.

| Judith’s Miscanthus malepartus is from one of two clumps in her garden and stands well over 6 ft. (How did it fit in the car?) Judith said anyone who wants some is welcome to dig some up. |
