First on the schedule was the North Scotland Garden Show in Turriff, Aberdeenshire. This was their first year, so we were excited to meet some new faces and see what the show had to offer.
The North Scotland Garden Show is the only garden show of its kind in the north of Scotland. It was designed to emphasise the vital role forestry and horticulture play in all our daily lives. Everything sold at the show or exhibiting was made using trees and plants.
We had a great time here speaking to folk that were looking at Peerie Polly, and meeting Polycrubbers who wanted to chat about what they had growing in their Polycrubs.
A few days later we were off to the Royal Highland Show in Ingilston, Edinburgh. We have had a stand here a few times, so knew what to expect, and as usual, we had an excellent time.
The Royal Highland Show, organised by RHASS (Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland), champions Scottish agriculture and rural life, and promotes sustainable practices and community engagement.
There was over 750 exhibitors, and brilliant music at the Hoolie in the evening. We spoke to hundreds of folk over the four days, chatting all things Polycrub, growing, and everything else in between.
We were also proud to sponsor the Shetland Sheep section at the show and would like to congratulate Kate Sharp – the RHS Supreme Champion 2025.
Last but not least, we went to the Black Isle Show in the Muir of Ord. This was our fifth year there and this year was just as good as our previous visits.
The Black Isle Show celebrates agriculture, rural life, and the local community, by educating the public about food production, and provides a platform for livestock showing, local crafts, and entertainment.
In between working on the stand, we enjoyed food from some of the vendors, and managed to squeeze in a visit to see the Stoltman Brothers doing the tractor pull. Again, it was lovely to speak to so many people about Polycrubs, meet some of our trusted constructors, and it’s always so nice to hear how much folk are enjoying growing their own produce.
We’ll definitely be attending shows again next year – pay attention to our social media platforms next Summer to see which ones we decide to go to!
