Premium smoked salmon brand Ghillie & Glen is helping a group of local garden design students in their quest for Chelsea Flower Show acclaim.
For the first time in its history, Edinburgh’s Scottish Agricultural College (SAC) will be showcasing a garden, which is part-sponsored by Ghillie & Glen, at the prestigious RHS Chelsea Flower Show from 24-30 May 2010. Designed by Amber Goudy and built by the students themselves, the garden is aimed to promote biodiversity and reflects concerns about sustainability and renewable energy.
Ghillie & Glen Scottish Smoked Salmon is produced by Livingston-based Macrae (Edinburgh) Ltd using only the finest Scottish farmed salmon from the fast flowing waters around the West Coast and Islands of Scotland. Supplied exclusively to Waitrose branches throughout the UK, the salmon is reared to the highest welfare standards and sourced from suppliers who employ farming methods that are respectful of the environment.
Reducing negative impacts on the environment is something the team at Macrae is passionate about and the company has made major strides in reducing waste to landfill and becoming more energy efficient as well as helping to maintain a nearby nature reserve. More recently Macrae Edinburgh was awarded the Scottish Food & Drink Award for Environmental Sustainability for work on reducing its carbon footprint.
Kelly Colrein, Commercial Manager at Macrae, comments:
“We were delighted to be approached by this group of enthusiastic local students and felt that the ethos behind the Ghillie & Glen brand was an ideal link, reflecting the environmental and ethical aspects of the garden design.”
Ghillie & Glen Smoked Salmon will be enjoyed by royalty and the Chelsea elite at the Gala Dinner to be held on 24th May as well as being available on the menu in the Rock Restaurant throughout the week of the show.
