Gardeners' Question Time
Whether you're an avid gardener or just getting started, this event is a great way to seek expert advice on gardening, growing and landscaping in a sociable and informal way. Ask those niggling questions and have them answered by our panel whose collective expertise spans general gardening, garden design, veg growing, sustainability, bulb & cut flower growing, wildlife habitats, soil health and so much more!
The evening will begin with a welcome drink in the Garden Café and a short presentation by The Lady Gardener, Susie Coupar at 6.30pm. Susie will talk about the show garden she has designed for Scone Palace Garden Festival, inspired by neurodivergent minds and biodiversity.
After the presentation finishes, Question Time will begin. With Susie as our host, our expert panel will introduce themselves and then answer your pre-submitted questions. There will also be time for some impromptu questions from the floor. At the end of the night, the Garden Shop will be open for those wishing to shop with 10% off all products* exclusively for Gardeners’ Question Time attendees.
