GARDENING SCOTLAND PALLET CHALLENGE

For the fourth consecutive year the Club entered the Pallet Challenge run by the Scottish Gardeners' Forum at this years' "Gardening Scotland" at Ingilston, Edinburgh. The pallet was called a "Highland Swing" with a golfing theme to reflect Nairns' reputation as a popular golfing resort and to celebrate the hosting of the 2011 Barclays Scottish Open at Castle Stuart. Members of the Committee made a trellis of golf clubs at the back of the pallet, planted up all the pockets of a golf bag with a colourful display of bedding, supplied by Greens' Nurseries, and added more colour with plants in golf shoes, a glove and a cap. All this was set on a mini Links course. Their hard work was rewarded with yet another Silver-Gilt medal.
