Information about the Aberdeen Blooms festival event held at the Hazlehead Park
In 2007 the City celebrated its continual winning success in national horticultural competitions such as Britain in Bloom by hosting the Aberdeen Blooms family festival at Hazlehead Park. It was officially opened by Chris Collins who is the celebrity gardener from the TV programme Blue Peter on BBC1 and heads the Grow Your Own campaign on UKTV.

My new novel:
The Aberdeen skies are under attack from an enemy jet. It is spilling a strange yellow smoke. Minutes later, people start killing each other.
Former Royal Air Force Regiment Gunner Jason Harper witnesses this and then his wife, Pippa, telephones him, shouting that she needs him. They then get cut off. He sets straight out, unprepared for the nightmare that unfolds during his journey. Everyone seems to want to kill him.
Along the way, he pairs up with fellow survivor Imogen. But she enjoys killing the living dead far too much. Will she kill Jason in her blood thirst? Or will she hinder his journey through this zombie filled dystopian landscape to find his pregnant wife?
The Fence is the first in this series of post-apocalyptic military survival thrillers from the torturous mind of local horror and science fiction novel writer C.G. Buswell.

The annual Royal Horticultural Society of Aberdeen Flower Show had traditionally taken place at the Duthie Park but has now moved location to Hazlehead Park to coincide with this event. This keeps alive a tradition that dates back to the year 1824. Exhibit categories include vegetables, flowers, wine making, baking, floral art, bonsai, cacti, crafts, photography and a competition for children.
It is organised and run by the local Council and RHSA. This family orientated day will see a mixture of horticultural and gardening events mixed with exhibits, activities and a food hall of local Aberdeenshire and Scottish produce.
Chris Collins, the celebrity television gardener has opened previous events.
Gardening demonstrations will take place and there will also be a Gardener’s Question Time style event with an expert panel on hand to answer gardening questions. It will also host craft stalls and trade stands. A new event is cooking demonstrations by local chefs who will be using ingredients from the North East of Scotland.

Have you seen my beautiful golden retriever Lynne out and about in Aberdeen? Ask her for a high-five! She's a Bravehound PTSD assistance dog, so we'll often be in shops, restaurants, and the cinema together.
We've written a book where I talk about growing up in Aberdeen and then joining the army to be a medic and nurse, and developing military Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I also talk about losing my son to suicide and the therapy I have had at Royal Cornhill Hospital and grief support groups in Aberdeen.
The author, Damien Lewis, said of Lynne:
"A powerful account of what one dog means to one man on his road to recovery. Both heart-warming and life-affirming. Bravo Chris and Lynne. Bravo Bravehound."
