MALAYSIA’s Minister for Tourism, the Honourable Dato’ Sri Dr Ng Yen Yen, visited Dawyck Botanic Gardens last month. She made an impromptu tour of the Peeblesshire gardens after she launched the new Malaysian Trail at Dawyck’s parent organisation, the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE).
Garden supervisor Thomas Gifford said: “It was a great pleasure to organise this short tour for the Minister. She is obviously enthusiastic and well-informed.”
