A very high risk of wildfire is in place for areas of Scotland from 13-19 August. Please be mindful of your surroundings and avoid using anything involving a naked flame, avoid using portable barbecues or lighting campfires. Help reduce the risk of wildfire.

Absolutely. Sole working can be hugely impactful on mental state. The pressure of responsibility and the time spent alone entirely in your own head. Well done @PerennialGRBS for speaking about this and offering support. A very important service.
Some roles in horticulture can be lonely, especially if you’re a sole gardener or self-employed. If you're feeling isolated try our Health & wellbeing platform/app for advice & support for your mental wellbeing: https://t.co/uszC7EDFQ3

Great plant. Amazed that it hasn’t become more popular. Perhaps until now…
This is my current favourite new (to us) plant! Rooting nicely in our propagation unit. Colquhounia coccinea Nepalese Flame

Thanks for the support! @ScotPollinators #GrowWild
Well done to the team at Perth & Kinross council. Perth's North Inch is a great example of multi-use with nature-friendly approaches. No mowing under trees, areas for bulbs and wildflowers ... all great stuff for our pollinators. Congratulations on a fine approach. 🌼🐝🦋

Now that we are in late season for Japanese Flowering Cherries, it's time to look forward to two of the most attractive cultivars: Prunus 'Pink Perfection' (left) and P. 'Shirofugen' (right).

The tiny and rather gorgeous Scilla bifolia ‘Norman Stevens’ is slowly bulking up in a pot in the #iplantsgarden. A lovely diminutive double! #bulbs #springbulbs #scilla #plants #garden #flowers

Scepter’d Isle (Ausland) is a rose that combines elegance with a captivating fragrance. With its upright, refined form, Scepter’d Isle (Ausland) thrives in mixed borders, pots, and even shadier spots, adding both charm and structure to the garden.
