gardener...

...partly responsible for the wonder that is the botanics in edinburgh, a place i worked in 40 odd years ago, in the tea room, on hot, sticky, wasp-ridden saturdays, or wet, deserted grey sundays, when we got to take home all the unsold cream cakes at the end of the weekend!

this copper beech with its fresh new leaves was one of the many stunning plants just bursting with life & promise.
