Ian Christie's famous alpine nursery sits at 500 feet on the northern rim of the fertile Strathmore valley below the spectacular Angus Glens in Scotland. Not many finer places to grow alpines in the UK. He has kindly sent these photographs of some of his plants, especially for TAG members. I'm sure you'll join with me in thanking him by visiting his web site. Access it by clicking on any of the photographs.
