A LAUNCH event will take place in Selkirk next week to celebrate the publication of a famed horticulturist.
Henry Eckford is regarded as the man who made sweet peas popular with gardeners around the world.
And his extraordinary story has been beautifully written by local author Graham Martin.
The launch at the Forest Bookstore will feature a discussion with Graham as well as the chance to have copies of the new book signed.
The free event will take place on Wednesday, May 30 between 7pm and 9pm.
