Not much work on the actual garden today, although we have put up a few backboards to hold the soil from the espaliers and the Sweet Pea obelisk has been planted. The majority of the day has been taken up preparing the marquee, we have all the stands in place (for the picture boards), crates with Acers and Catalpas on them giving a wonderful backdrop to the boards and the eventual plants in front of them. The trestle tables are all in place for the selling area, log roll is positioned at the front corners of the marquee ready to be filled with colourful herbaceous. The Bridgemere signs and long picture of the greenhouses on production are all mounted on frames ready to be put up on either end of the marquee.
Minimalist planting!
We also managed to bring up about 25-30 Danish trolleys full of plants for the garden, (plenty more still to come tomorrow!) There is probably far too many for the garden but any that are left over can be used in the marquee display or in the selling area. Unfortunately the forecast doesn’t sound too good for tonight and tomorrow so we may be planting in mud!
