The photo above is of a Japanese Garden which has been planted within the Glendoick Garden Centre, near Errol in Perthshire, Scotland. It has obviously been planted some years ago as it’s quite mature now, but it’s a great idea and it probably does quite a lot for their sales of those types of plants.

We visited about 10 days ago when it was looking fab, as you can see, I think we got there just at the perfect time.

I had been to this garden centre just once before and I was sure that it had all the plants with their Latin names in alphabetical order, which I thought was a brilliant idea, so easy to find what you were looking for.

Imagine my surprise when I got there and there was no sign of anything alphabetical. Either they have changed it completely or I was thinking of an entirely different garden centre, or possibly I dreamt of such a thing, as my perfect place to buy plants and it doesn’t actually exist!

Anyway, if you know of such an alphabetical plant place – please do tell!
