Despite the early rush, there was a steady stream of visitors checking out the gardens and what was for sale.
And the first weekend in Spetember will see another huge plant sale for the Scottish Garden Scheme at the James Street gardens.

The gardens are also looking for two or three people to join their committee and meet three or four times a year. And they need more volunteers to help with maintenance two weekends a year.
Helensburgh and Gareloch Horticultural Society wrote on Facebook: "What a day! Thanks to all that came to the plant sale - we hope you are happy with your purchases.

Volunteers are needed for other projects in the town. The Tree Trust are looing for volunteers for weeding on Tuesday, May 21 from 7pm at the corner of West King Street and Glasgow Street.
Gardeners are needed to help on the shrub beds in Colquhoun Square with a volunteer day on Saturday, June 1 from 10am to 11am. But assistance with weeding can be accommodated at other times too.
No experience necessary or plant knowledge required - just 30 minutes to help keep the weeds under control or pruning branches to keep the greenspaces in Helensburgh looking great.
