RIVERSIDE PARK
is located on the left bank of the River Tay. An exciting project to plant a new national collection of heathers in the Park has been led by Perth and Kinross Council. Involving local volunteers, Riverside Park has the potential to be the largest and most comprehensive heather collection in Scotland. It is planned the garden will host 950 cultivars of heather, forming an important and unique national collection.

TALKS and OTHER VISITS

Speakers invited to attend the Gathering include Euna Scott (formerly Chairman, Beautiful Perth, now Westbank Enterprises Business Manager) and Dr Mark Hancock (Senior Conservation Scientist with RSPB in Inverness). As well as to the Riverside Park, visits are being planned to Drummond Castle and Perthshire Heathers nursery.
