Chelsea Day 8 - 3 days to go




Well yesterday was truly a fantastic day, arrived at site with the garden covered in tarpaulin and not a single plant planted - left with tarpaulin gone and every single last plant installed in the garden! An amazing effort by the team - a huge thankyou to my helpers for the day, Julie, Ellie, Karen, Mandy, Liz and Neil (Eco Lutions). We didn't leave site till pretty late, but we didn't manage to polish off a couple of bottles of wine to celebrate. Garden is now looking truly scrumptious, I am so pleased with how it has come together, it is almost exactly as i had imagined. We are getting so many lovely comments from passers by, certainly makes all the hard work and effort feel worth while. Got to do a big tidy up today, and need to titivate the plants, and get rid of all of the bad leaves etc. Must go, looking forward to today.
