The “Bloomers” of Cockenzie & Port Seton In Bloom were thrilled to be included in
the Beechgrove Garden’s hour long TV programme on Wednesday 9th September. A garden
being created in the grounds of Colinton School was the main subject of the programme
and it was very inspiring to see the children and adults working together. That same
Beechgrove Garden team must have been inspired by the enthusiastic folk of our village
way back in 2002 when they helped In Bloom create the Secret Garden because they
recently phoned Marlene Love to ask if they could come and visit. They were pleased
to see how it had matured with lots of TLC over the years and interested to know
that it had become a well used garden for young and old alike. George Anderson, a
member of the Beechgrove Garden team, interviewed Marlene Love, Joan Stewart and
Karen Love. The filming of our stunning Memorial Garden, beautiful Secret Garden
and creative children in the Outdoor Classroom has certainly highlighted this lovely
area of East Lothian.
