Title: OOooh I'm starstruck!!
Post by: glosterwomble on May 07, 2008, 21:20:21
I volountereed to help run my local organic gardening groups stall at this weeks RHS Malvern spring gardening show.

One of the perks was to go over this evening to help set up the stand with one of the committee, one major distraction though was that they were filming the BBC coverage and the entire showground was a who's who of horticulture.

One minute Carol Klein was stood within 10 feet of us filming with Joe Swift, then she was chatting to the people on the stall next to ours. Then we walked past Rachel De Thame, Jekka Mcvicar and James Alexander-Sinclair!

I really wantd to say hello to Carol but couldn't pluck up the courage!  ::)

Pity you could not get them to sign some books you could raffle to help raise money.

I know what you can do back up some seeds and use that as an excuse to talk to them offer the seeds to them for Joes allotment or for the GW garden :)
