Well sorry for not providing more updates here, but been a very busy, exciting and still more being done. May was exceedingly busy, starting with Toby Buckland’s Gardenfest at Powderham Castle. A lovely time met loads of lovely people and we did one of our enjoyable talks on the Saturday. I think everyone enjoyed themselves as we tend to have a different style to most where we try to Entertain and Educate.
Then onto the RHS Malvern Spring Show where we were grateful to receive a Silver Medal. There was 3 other Hosta growers there and it was like a wonderful Hosta convention with customers roaming between us all. Met loads of lovely people and whilst I was cleaning the glass containing our Super Mini Bonsai Hosta in a thimble it regularly attracted crowds a bit like the changing of the guard.
After this it was onto Devon county (Gold & Silver), Tavistock Garden Festival (a lovely bottle of Prosecco for the girls) and finishing with the month with the Royal Bath and West (Gold).
After this we attended several plant fairs and gave several Garden Club talks and had a rip roaring time taking our plants to the public, meeting lots of lovely people.
Still busy at present adding infrastructure to our Milverton and Clayhanger sites, especially after all the watering that was done this year. I will put together a further update soon.
