Joe Smith's Urns

Today's the day ………………………. for Threave

A long-promised visit to the NTS Garden and Estate at Threave, near Castle Douglas today.

It is the 60th anniversary this year of the School of Heritage Gardening, dedicated to the training of horticulturists, which is based there.  There was a full programme of events to celebrate that planned throughout the year - but, of course, it all had to be cancelled because of Covid19.  Such a shame for them.
