Glasgow Botanical Garden - Scotland

National collection of tree ferns.

Learning the names of plants is the botanical garden best attribute for me.   This is where I can find out what's what.  So I can research those items more thoroughly.  But the glass house usually don't offer me much for potential plant material.  I tend to love the building more than the plants.  This is from the civil engineer in me.  I really appreciate the Victorian engineering.

Castle & Gardens of Mey - Scotland

A remote village on Scotland’s north coast.  Although it’s the first week of May, we experience 4 degree C and sleet.   Along with a steady wind from the north to chill one’s bones.  The gardener was turning the soil in a bed mixing in compost or manure.  Soil was heavy and looked like hard work.  One to keep him warm.
