Hampton Court Flower Show

24 May '04 10:28 am

Bex and I are determined to make the most of our RHS memberships, my super flash new digital gardening camera, and the English Summer and will be going to the Hampton Court Flower Show on Tuesday 6th July Smile

Anyone wanting to join us is more than welcome - especially if you've been to the Hampton Court Flower Show before. I find the tradition and history of large RHS events a little intimidating not to mention the jostling and queue jumping Old Lady English Gardeners Smile

Mooseys Country Garden will also visit Kew and Wisley Gardens this summer to give the Southern Hemisphere gardeners something nice for when the weather keeps them out of their gardens.

If there is a special English Garden you'd like to get the Moosey's Country Garden treatment then let us know and we'll see what we can do. Gardens situated close to Castles or division two football grounds are preferred Smile

Did I hear Bex and Moosey mentioning something about Moosey touring the UK in 2005 or is that just the garden paparazzi in me?

Bex and I spent the day at the Hampton Court Flower Show, snapping photos, filming the gardens and exhibits and interviewing the designers. It was a great day out - look for the NEW Hampton Court Flower Show section coming shortly.

Diarmuid '*** in Wellies' Gavin was there too Smile

If this man has the name '*** in wellies' then I need to see the wellies, in order to make a sound unbiased judgement. I speak on behalf of all southern hemisphere gardeners who have nothing better to do than read old gardening magazines and make peevish lists and semi-lust after Irish gardening celebrities.

Without the 'wellies' in view he just looks like some Physics teacher from the local college, hee hee.

I did note with disappointment that Diarmuid was wearing trainers at Hampton. What a fraud...

Could lady Gardeners please control themselves around Diarmuid and stick to the post! Smile

We're going to launch our dedicated Hampton Flower Show coverage tommorrow with some introductory articles and a tour of the floral marquees.
