A front garden in Pitlochry has been the healing space for a woman who felt at a personal crossroads – and her incredible self-taught green fingers have earned her a place representing Scotland at a top British flower show.
Caroline Bavey (46) was invited to judging day at Chelsea Flower Show last weekend and will be the only Scottish member of a six-strong team presenting a community garden exhibit at the prestigious RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival in July.
Caroline has no horticultural background, but she found her gift for planting when Covid and a marriage separation saw her alone in her home in Pitlochry with seeds to plant and, for the first time in decades, time on her hands.
