Big winner in Halifax Country Flower Show plants gardening passions in others

They call me the hoarder of plants.”At the flower show on Wednesday, March 21, at the Oceanside Country Club, Moore earned the Catherine Beattie Medal, which values a plant’s vibrancy, prime condition and perfection of grooming; the Clarissa Willemsen Horticulture Propagation Award, showcasing a plant in prime condition with flawless grooming that’s difficult to grow; and the Rosie Jones Horticulture Award, featuring a plant of exceptional visual appeal that reflects the spirit of growing with joy and enthusiasm.“It’s the competition; it’s not really about winning,” Moore said. “And also, being able to educate people about how much fun plants can be. You can go out and see a flower and say, ‘Ah, this is gorgeous,’ then you feel good because this flower looks so beautiful.”Moore said she likes “weird” plants — ones you wouldn’t normally see, like Pachypodium, native of Madagascar, for which she earned the Catherine Beattie Medal.On a different table, a blue ribbon winner of Moore’s features a variety of succulents planted intricately into a piece of wood, which Moore said is a base she challenges herself with.“I go to different lumber yards, and sometimes I’ll find just little pieces of wood thrown around,” Moore said. “But it has to either be hard wood or an old piece of cypress or an old piece of red wood because those don’t rot.”After finding wood that meets her standards, she sits it down in her home and leaves it there for months at a time before using it for her gardening.She said that eventually, she’ll walk by the piece of wood and just suddenly know what she wants to make of it — a master gardener’s instinct.Moore said educating the public about gardening is part of why she loves the pastime.“I think children need to get more involved in gardening,” she said. “Obviously, school gardens are a big help because it teaches children where plants come from and what they should eat versus what not. And also, we teach people how not to use pesticides, not to overwater, there’s a lot involved with plants; it’s not just growing.”...

Melrose Rotary Club, Galashiels Community Council, Gala in Bloom and Scotrail. Ms Grahame said: “I was delighted, along with my colleague Colin Beattie, MSP for Midlothian North and Musselburgh, to welcome representatives from the adopt-a-station scheme to Parliament. “It was a real pleasure to meet the individuals behind the hard work we often take for granted as we travel up and down the Borders Railway. “The newly-constructed railway stations along the line looked bare right after construction. “These volunteers quickly set to work and have transformed the appearance of the stations with colourful flowers and vegetation, enhancing the entire journey experience for visitors and commuters alike. “I wanted to congratulate these groups for taking the initiative and brightening up our railway to make it something we can all take pride in. “There was also a range of issues raised during the lunch meeting, and I have undertaken to take these up with Scotrail.” Phil Verster, managing director of Scotrail, also congratulated the groups on their work at stations including those at Stow, Galashiels and Tweedbank, saying: “We are delighted at the range and variety of floral displays which are already helping give the stations individual character. “What we have is a journey where the charm of the passing countryside is enhanced by the welcoming smile that greets the traveller at every stop along the way.” Ms Grahame’s guests included Make Stow Beautiful’s Jack MacKenzie, Galashiels Community Council’s Judith Cleghorn, Gala in Bloom’s Ronnie Murray and Melrose Rotary Club’s Sylvia Grun...
