The colourful celebration of horticulture which is the North Scotland Garden Show will return this summer after a hugely successful first year.
The 2026 extravaganza will be held at the Turriff Showground on Friday, June 12 and Saturday, June 13.
Attendees will be able to enjoy a variety of attractions at the Turriff Showground.
It will feature an amazing range of attractions for people to enjoy.
There will be a particularly interesting focus on horticulture and forestry, with the aim of getting young people into careers in these industries.
Organiser Julie-Ann Henderson, who lives in Drummuir, said: “The show has more exhibitors and retailers coming this year.
“I am keen to focus on horticulture and forestry education and aim to get secondary schools on board to start advocating for careers in these industries.”
“We need to support horticulture and forestry in the north of Scotland, where we’ve got the perfect climate for growing.”
The North Scotland Garden Show will return this summer.
These industries are hugely important; without them, vital things like food or medicine would not exist.
There would be no houses or furniture and many modern clothes are made from plant-based fabrics or wood pulp.
The show’s extensive talks and demonstrations will primarily focus on this on the Friday, while on the Saturday it will be more public-orientated.
New attractions this year will include a colourful floral art competition and a pallet garden and container garden challenge that will test visitors.
A willow weaving workshop will give people the opportunity to learn how to make a bird feeder and take it home to place proudly in their gardens.
The area for retailers exhibiting and demonstrating lawnmowers and other machinery has been significantly extended offering visitors more choice.
People will have the opportunity to buy a wide range of quality products made from grown things or their derivatives, in addition to items made to enhance their own gardens.
Visitors can enjoy the engaging workshop from Deeside Willow, and the talks and demonstrations given throughout both days, which will highlight journeys into horticulture and forestry, product development and environmental improvements.
There will be inspiration from the garden designs installed by established professionals and some just beginning their careers. The gardens will be judged before the show opens.
