Scotland’s Garden Scheme Duns July 2025
What a lovely day we had on Sunday at our ‘Scotland’s Gardens Scheme’(SGS) open day in Duns. All gardeners love their own private space, usually hidden behind their houses, and we were all extremely privileged to be given free access to these perfect sanctuaries during the afternoon of Sunday 20th July. Spoilt rotten to have 16 of these wonderful spaces to explore, I can only show a very small selection on this blog, which is such a shame. IF we do this again in 2026, PLEASE free up your calendar and come along, you most certainly won’t be disappointed. A footfall of over 150 people from as far afield as the Isle of Skye had a fantastic time in lovely sunshine, culminating in refreshments in our cosy Market Square and at the Volunteer Hall, where the tickets and maps were on sale. The Plant Sale was a roaring success and the three tables of produce soon disappeared – as did all the cakes inside the hall! Thank you to our generous garden owners for their hard work and our volunteers for all the invaluable help on the day. Also to SGS for their support and guidance. All proceeds from the day go to SGS and our two chosen local charities – Duns First Responders and Duns Paramedics (BASICS).
