Books are held in safe storage in the CGC cupboard by the stage at Dreghorn Loan Hall. Hopefully loans of the books can resume when we resume “live” Garden Club meetings at the Hall, where the books will be displayed for consultation and loan at meetings. The full list is shown below. Thirteen books have been donated to Colinton Public Library on Thorburn Road and these will be available under the library’s normal lending regulations.
