You could put the kids for one term at a school and show them your old haunts? Actually while the show was nice the flowers weren't on tip top form and it was that much more crowded this year. They also gave out less golds and I can see why although the BBC were saying that the judges needed to be pickier but there were less gold medal stuff. And of course I am going with gut instinct here and no education about this stuff at all. But of course that is the beauty of it that it is mother nature we are dealing with so every year is going to be so different. That LPerrier garden was absolutely amazing. Made up for a little spark in the show gardens in fact. Not child friendly at all. It rained a little as expected but that didn't stop people. Hope you come along next year Heidi xxCoulda shoulda wouldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507021618497645667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042823968101983560.post-86292328707936414252014-05-23T23:56:59.510+01:002014-05-23T23:56:59.510+01:00Gaaah!!!

It's a bit like Architecture (or any sort of design/ profession really)... the jargon is there to shut others out, your view is no less valid (or not correct in the first instance). Loved that Laurent Perrier garden too, especially the rill in it. I've always wanted a rill, but won't have one in my garden (for one thing, I think I'd be coping with constantly wet children playing in it). But they are such a lovely design device. Sounds like a fab day Naomi!! xxHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01432089507602828735noreply@blogger.com
