All done but still looking forward!
Just arrived back from the build up of Hampton court. The jungle stand looks great, and we have managed to place the giant Gunnera manicata right on the edge of the stand where visitors can stand underneath it, and best of all we've got the diminuitive Gunnera magellanica which is only 5cm high. Carol Klein mentioned it at Chelsea and since then we've been inundated with people asking for it.
Also finished planting the LIBRA school garden at the show. One of the big show gardens. its got a real canal boat, a thatched cottage, fruit and veg, aquatics, a planted tow path, everything even stinging nettles. We grew all of it to help the school out and I can honestly say its one of the proudest things we've ever done. It looks beautiful, and the judges awarded it a Silver medal. I know the visitors will adore it, especially when the kids are there telling everybody about it. It'll be really great.
Well Rob is up at the show now and then I go up on tomorrow night to take over. Doing a show together is a luxury we don't have time for these days unfortunately. I'm back at HQ thinking about Tatton Park and what we will take for that show!
