Scotland Grows Show S8 E6: The Evolution of Scone Palace Garden Fair with Brian Cunningham

Brian Cunningham makes a welcome return to the Scotland Grows Show, two years since he appeared as the very first guest on the show.

In this episode, we talk about the ways in which Scone Palace Garden Fair has evolved over the last few years including the introduction of a speakers’ tent, the launch of the small space and showcase garden in the Scottish Garden Design Competition, a new demonstration area for this year, and the very unique experience offered at Scone Palace.

Brian’s passion for Scottish horticulture as always shines through and he updates us not just on what to look forward to at this year's Scone Palace Garden Fair, but on his top plant choices and his love for gardening in all seasons.

Further information and tickets for Scone Palace Garden Fair on 30th & 31st May 2025 can be found HERE.

Welcome to the Scotland Grows Show, the podcast which celebrates everything that is good in Scottish gardening, as we join gardeners around the country to find out what grows well where they are, and pick up tips and stories along the way.
