The golden envelopes contain fantastic prizes such as pairs of free tickets and packets of plant seeds.

Those keen to get their hands on the prizes are being urged to monitor Gardening Scotland’s twitter feed (@gardenscotland) for clues and tips on where to find them. The envelopes will be planted from week commencing 22 May – two weeks before the start of the show – in nurseries from Renfrewshire to Fife, the Lothians and Dumfries & Galloway.

Jimmy Gilchrist, Gardening Scotland’s chairman said: “Gardening Scotland is just like Willie Wonka’s chocolate factory for plant enthusiasts and nature lovers. That’s what gave us the idea of planting golden tickets to the show. We hope potential visitors enjoy hunting for the prizes – keep an eye on our twitter feed for more information coming soon!”
