Welcome to my Website
I am Alistair and have been gardening in Aberdeen with my wife Myra for forty years. I suppose it would be quite true to say that we are rather fanatical about our garden.
Neither of us are professional gardeners, however over the years we have built up a great deal of knowledge as to how garden plants perform in the cooler climate of Aberdeen and the North East of Scotland.
My posts are to provide information to the amateur gardener. I am not infallible, however I will let you know exactly how the plants which I feature performed in this part of the country.

All who comment on my site with a blog or website of their own will result in a reply and visit from myself to their current post.

Mid January, and Aberdeen still free of snow. Mind you travel a few miles inland and it’s a very different story, truly the Winter landscape which southerners expect in this part of the country. My son in laws mum contacted … Continue reading
