Fife bus links confirmed for Gardening Scotland 2020

Last year, for the first time, the national flower show ran coaches from across Scotland to the three-day festival, which takes place in Edinburgh at the end of May.

These proved to be hugely popular, so much so that this year the service has been extended to pick up from 33 locations.

Show organiser, Martin Dare, said: “Feedback from visitors was that were delighted to be able to get on board with Lothian Motorcoaches in their home town and travel directly to the show in comfort. And they welcomed the fact that it was also a greener solution than travelling by car.”

The show, which is celebrating its 21st birthday, is the national celebration of plants and gardening and it brings together dozens of leading nurseries from across the UK.

This year the Floral Pavilion will be filled with dozens of nurseries selling an astonishing array of fabulous plants while outside in the show ground, designers will be creating inspirational Show Gardens and exhibitors will be selling all kinds of home, garden and lifestyle accessories.

There will be mini pallet gardens, a giant craft marquee and, in the theatre, audiences can enjoy cookery demonstrations, talks on gardening and conservation and Question Time sessions with some of Scotland’s best-known gardeners.

Live music, artisan food stalls, afternoon teas and a Secret Gin Garden will add to the festivities, while the Big Back Garden will be filled with fun, family activities.

Since it was launched in the year 2000, Gardening Scotland has become the biggest gardening show in the country and visitors return year after year to buy beautiful plants, seek expert advice, buy gardening accessories, one-off artworks and delicious local produce, while all the time enjoying a great day out.

This year Gardening Scotland will take place from Friday, May 29-31. Tickets, coach travel and further information are available HERE www.gardeningscotland.com.
