Royal Horticultural Society Aberdeen - 28th August 2004

The RHS show is one the highlights in the Aberdeen horticultural calendar. Unfortunately the show made the headlines this year for all the wrong reasons. During the day prior to the show the gales were so severe that two of the large marquees were all but demolished. Many exhibitors lost their exhibits as the marquees partially collapsed around lunchtime. Fortunately no one was injured and the show continued albeit in somewhat smaller facilities.

In the disbud classes Fraserburgh growers Tom Buchan was successful in 3 vases of large while Dennis Morrice pipped Aberdeen grower Jim Craigen for the medium class (in the picture below Dennis' entry is on the left and Jims entry on the right). In the exhibition sprays Ed Mitchell from Montrose was successful and in the natural sprays Doug Stewart emerged the winner.
