The Scottish Branch are delighted to announce that the 2026 Scottish Branch Championships will take place on Saturday 5th & Sunday 6th September , and that we are returning to the fabulous venue of Dobbies Garden Centre, Dunfermline.
Address; Whimbrell Place, Fife Leisure Park, Dunfermline, KY11 8EX
SHOW SCHEDULE AND ENTRY FORM NOW AVAILABLE TO DOWNLOAD, plus a copy will be sent out to all Scottish Branch members with your SV Magazine - Summer edition (towards the end of June).
This year, the branch committee has added a new class specifically with Children in mind to encourage them to grow. This was a passion of the late Arthur Provan and his wife Margaret has given the branch a generous donation in Arthur’s memory to help encourage junior growers.
The new class is an open class for children (16 and under) to enter, for one pumpkin (seeds to be provided by the branch ). By being an open class, the child does not need to be a member of the NVS to enter the competition.
The winner will also be presented with the inaugural Provan Junior Trophy.
If you wish a child to enter, please contact Fiona Shenfield and she will send you pumpkin seeds to grow. ( Tel 07740 137 204).
The Branch has purchased seeds from one of our sponsors Kings seeds for this years competition. It's called Baby Bear.
A second new class for this year is to have a Scottish Branch “Chair’s Challenge” using the free Courgette Seeds, Summer Sun that we generously received from Kings Seeds in your Spring edition of the SV Magazine.
This class will be for Three Round courgettes, Summer Sun F1.
Please refer to your Spring edition SV Magazine for growing guidance.
