Bath & West National Garden Show Sept 2-4th
6 comments
Hi everyone, wondered if anyone is going to the National Garden Show on the 2nd Sept at the Royal Bath & West Showground this year?
If so say hello to me, as I will be there taking part in the ‘Instant Garden Challenge’.
The idea is to show people some ideas of what you can do with a 3 × 3 mtr plot.
The challenge is one hour in a garden centre the day before to run around and choose some plants plus a few non plant items. Then I get two hours on the 2nd to build (arrange them) an instant garden at the show ground against a competitor and in front of a crowd.
Fully understand that gardens can’t be built in a day a weekend or even a couple of hours (mine has taken 6 years), but it is a bit of fun to give people some ideas.
So if you are at the show buying plants and having a nice day out, then pop over and say hello. I will look out for you.
Dan…
p.s. my wife is now 22 weeks pregnant and blooming.
