All packed up and ready to go

[ACE]

I have just packed all the plants and props for the show garden that we are taking to Gardeners world live. Shoe-horned it onto the truck and sent it on its way. Lets hope nothing gets damaged in transit.

I shall be up in the morning to get an early ferry then I have to zig zag across the country to pick up our reserved plants from  the specialised nurseries. Then tomorrow evening we will unload ready to start on monday morning. Thats when the stress levels start to rise.

If any of you are going to the show drop in at the 'Rocky Start, Rosy Future' garden and make yourself known. Ask for Rob.

Good luck Ace, sounds like you are well prepared - remember to breathe deeply and stay calm.  ;D ;D

Does anyone know if the show is on TV  ???

[Mrs Ava]

Don' they normally show it on Gardeners World on Friday?  Wish I could go....should have been this week whilst the kids were on half term, then I could have bribed mother to come babysit and my darling and I could have emptied the savings (what savings  ???) and come up!

have a great time Ace, hope the weather holds for you.  Drive safely!

Back home, safe and sound. Ricky was the star of the show, and we won a silver medal. We are already planning next years garden and have been approached by some big names to make some of our garden art mosaics. I will post some better pictures as soon as I have time, but here is something to go on with

Excellent stuff!

That was YOUR garden!? Wow! I only saw it on the TV after having tramped round the show that day... where on earth (or at least in the NEC) were you hidden???  I missed a load last year too - I think there must be an area we've not found... :-(
