Well that was the most amazing 18 months as the @alpinegardensoc trainee based at Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh I have travelled the UK and abroad. I have worked in some wonderful places, met and been mentored by some of the most greatest people.

Alpines for summer colour: Scutellaria suffrutescens 'Texas Rose'. A native of mountains in northern Mexico, this species enjoys a dry, sunny spot on a rockery or raised bed. In time, it will form a neat mound of herbaceous branches, covered in deep pink flowers in summer.

Gentiana acaulis 'Arctic Fanfare' is a hybrid between Gentiana acaulis f. alba and G. acaulis 'Coelestina' raised by nurseryman Steve Furness in the 1980s. It flowers well in a sunny position, in well-drained, acidic soils. Why not give it a try?

Eucomis vandermerwei is a narrow endemic that occurs in alpine areas at 2200-2500m in north-eastern South Africa. It is well suited for cultivation in pots and containers in a well-drained compost.
