Hi
I am doing some research for a crofting museum that has a building that was
occupied in the 1960's.
They have identified the small flower beds that were used, and chatted to
the elderly original occupant.
She remembers getting seeds from magazines - now whether this was the likes
of "peoples friend" or a gardening magazine of the time, we do not know, but
can anyone help with what sorts of flower seeds would be most likely to be
given away in the 1960's ?

And what other likely flowering plants would she have used in a West Coast
of Scotland croft garden - not veggies.

appreciate your time and assistance.
