Show’s over!

16 June 08

Another one bites the dust! I’m standing in an empty garden now the plants have been sold off (at bargain prices I might add) and I feel like I always do at the end of a show, tired and a little bit sad!

I don’t like the dismantling part of the shows, but I guess it comes with the territory. I’m a creator, so seeing the work pulled to pieces is always a little deflating.

I wish I could pick the gardens up and put them somewhere permanent. Maybe that’s a future project?! If I feel like this, Heather must be feeling even sadder as it is her baby.

It has been a fantastic show and the garden was so well received by the public, who really took to the design and the thinking behind it. I think this has been a great stepping stone for Heather and I just hope I’ve been able to pass on some useful hints and tips to help her career.

I’m heading home tonight and I have to say I’m really looking forward to putting my feet up and catching up properly with the family and the horses . . . not to mention having a look at my own garden. I hope someone has kept on top of the weeding!

Next stop Hampton...
