East of Scotland Begonia Society


The Late Matt Stobbs.

           Matt lived in Dunfermline and grew his beloved Begonias for many years, he was the cornerstone of our society and through his personal drive he encouraged the formation of a society in the East of Scotland.  Matt served on the committee from the beginning and saw it developing into a well respected organisation which continues today. Matt will be sadly missed by many.
