Hampton Court Flower Show

Last weekend the family visited Hampton Court Flower Show- a long held ambition that proved to be as good as we hoped. People who know us well know that we are rubbish at remembering to take our camera when we go places- this was no exception, the camera was ready but left on the back seat of the car. Luckily our children are better in this respect so we do have some photos!

I am because of who we are
 The gardens were great- I particularly liked the planting in the World Vision garden where I was able to buy some of my favourites- a Verbena Lavender Spires, Gaura Whirling Butterflies and Salvia- all pollinator friendly!
The best show garden- I am, beacause of who we are- was beautiful, with a combination planting of silver birches, white foxgloves, grasses and fine textured foliage the overall effect was lovely.

World Vision

 However there was far too much to see in the time we had- the show gardens are not as big as they look on TV, but the floral marquee was well worth a tour and the Lewis Carroll theme was great to get the kids involved.
