Botanic Garden blooms at Dundee Flower and Food Festival

The University of Dundee Botanic Garden will be among the many institutions taking part in this weekend's Dundee Flower and Food Festival, one of the city's biggest events of the year.

Alasdair Hood, Curator of the Botanic Garden, will be a judge at the Show Gardens event on Friday while Education Officer Neil Paterson will be making a presentation to local schoolchildren. Throughout the weekend the Friends of the Garden will have a stall, designed and laid out by Garden staff, in the Floral Marquee.

"The Dundee Flower and Food Festival is a superb event and we are delighted to be taking part," said Mr Hood.
