Perennial favourite
Perennial, the charity formerly known as the Gardeners’ Royal Benevolent Fund scooped a gold medal and a ‘best in show’ prize at the Gardening Scotland exhibition for its show garden, which was designed by husband-and-wife team Martin Crowley and Amber Goudy. To mark its 175th anniversary, Perennial is trying to raise £175,000 to help horticulturists in need. Crowley, who lives near Oban, received help from the charity after suffering from a serious illness.
