Its all about fruit and veg at the moment.
When the Caley was founded in 1809 one of its core purposes was to share knowledge and experience of growing the best fruit and the most useful vegetables in the kitchen.
Something we still seek to achieve
Why not enter some of your veg or flowers in the show next weekend. There are lots of categories.
Growing in Scotland is different
Scotland’s weather is changeable, sometimes referred to as four seasons in a day! The temperature is generally lower in Scotland than the rest of the UK, although it is slightly warmer on the West Coast than the East Coast. Lower light levels, lots of rain and wind all contribute to a wide variation of growing conditions across Scotland.
The Caley needs you. Help us grow and continue to support horticulture and gardening in Scotland. Together we can do it.
