Planning for Hampton Court starts almost as the show finishes, ideas are put down on paper, and discussions begin. We have been highly successful in conjunction with the designer Claudia De Yong. Claudia makes the final sketches, and the sourcing of plants begins.
The building of the garden takes 3 weeks, you are given a plot in which to create your garden. We have a small team of up to 12 who take on this difficult job, logistically this can be a difficult time as we have to bring all the we need from Dorset and surrounding areas. We try to source as much as possible locally, and a very high percentage of the plants will have been grown for the show at home.
We spend 5 days at the show, and then have only one week to break the garden down and ferry it back to Dorset, that is unless we are able to sell it.
| OTHER SHOWS / EXHIBITS |
We have also exhibited at Tatton Park, and have supplied many plants to other exhibitors, including garden designers at Chelsea Flower Show.
We try to support our local garden designers and in 2006 we supplied plants to John Bright fencing for their exhibit at Melplash Show.
