A young visitor admires the "Beetle" previously shown in Gardening Scotland  2009.  It arrived in time for the Suntrap Annual Open Day 2010. The Suntrap gardeners did a great job of planting it up. 
This successful Event was soon marred by a shock announcement from Oatridge College that it no longer had a use for the Garden. The National Trust followed with the bombshell that it too was pulling out of Suntrap because they did not see that there was any building of interest to them on the site.
The Save our Suntrap Committee are working hard to persuade both organisations that Suntrap has a role to play in both educating and advising gardeners and in showing how "Green Energy" was first developed for use in a domestic setting, in Scotland, in the house "Millbuies", occupied by George Boyd Anderson and his wife.
