What a week... I have built my first two show gardens with
my day job, which has been an utter baptism of fire. I had guessed at the long
hours, non delivery of key kit, and general low level panic as plants struggled
to shake off the harsh winter & flowers refused to bloom. I hadn’t
anticipated the overwhelming sense of achievement as people pull together &
the adrenaline rush of plunging plants into a frame and seeing a garden take
shape. My muscles ache & my nose is scorched from the unforgiving winds that
whipped across the site throughout the build. After the rush of the build, I
made time to go back to the show on Friday as a visitor, to glory in the floral
displays and elbow my way to favourite stands with the crowds. Do it again? In
a heartbeat.
