June 10th 1903 saw the floral clock in Princes Street Gardens, Edinburgh, begin operation - driven by clockwork and with only an hour hand it was the first of its kind in the world.

Each year the planting scheme commemorates a special anniversary.In 1973, an electric motor was installed to keep the clock hands moving. Before then the clock’s mechanism had to be wound daily.

The clock is not only an immaculately tended floral display in the shape of a clock, it also tells the correct time. The planting schemes are designed by the Technical team in the Parks and Greenspace Service. The colourful displays take 30,000 plants, and a variety of flower and foliage plants are used in the designs. All are of a dwarf nature, suitable for carpet bedding, including annuals such as Lobelia, Pyrethrum and Golden Moss and succulents such as Echeveria and Sedum. The man we have to thank is Edinburgh Parks Superintendent, John McHattie.

The first photo is from 1903 the next are the clock through the years and the last pic is the clock theme this year marking the centenary of the famous ‘Flying Scotsman’ train.

What finer place for a gardener to live than along Princes Street in Edinburgh. No morning commute - just walk out the door to work!

And in these next 50 years you will eat so many delicious meals, laugh so many times with so many people you love, shout and scream and sing and cry and smile so hard your face hurts. And you will see such beautiful sunsets and feel fresh cold air on your face and feel warm and safe wrapped up in your favourite winter coat.

*through gritted teeth* you are not a child taking a test with the purpose of getting the highest score, you are an adult trying new things and finding ways to enjoy your life, make mistakes, be a beginner, be mediocre, be where you need to be, be unlikeable, just. be.
