In great contrast, next September HORTUS goes to Dumfries & Galloway in south-west Scotland, where a horticulturally-rich pro- gramme led by Sophie Piebenga and hosted by Adam Wilkinson will take us to Dumfries House, part of the Prince’s Foundation (where lunch is also scheduled) and Broughton House, Edwardian home and studio of Scottish artist and one of the influential ‘Glasgow Boys’, Edward Arnold Hornel (1864–1933), set in a botanical fusion where East meets West. And to show what delights the Gulf Stream allows gardeners to grow this far north, our visit to the Logan Botanic Garden lets us explore a wide range of plants from Australia, South America, South Africa and such Atlantic islands as Madeira and the Canaries.
