A chat with Ken Cox, woodland plant expert, horticulturist, author and Glendoick Garden Centre owner.  We discuss peat, pots and plant hunting, and I take advantage of Ken's expertise to ask him how best to look after my rhodedendrons!

Glendoick Garden Centre's environmental policy is here, along with how-to videos, Ken's books and more information on the Cox family and their plant hunting expeditions.

The list of Scottish Gardenplant awards can be found here on The Caley's website and in Garden Plants for Scotland, which I can highly recommend.

Oh and there's gin!
