You get all excited and then, deflated. <br />At least the goats and the chickens entertained. Was that before or after the cider?<br /><br />On the other hand, I really enjoyed the pictures you shared. As usual, you have a wonderful "eye" for the details, even if they are hard to find.Sarahttp://www.sarahealy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376693003192814341.post-81821162623344766752012-05-27T13:35:52.290+01:002012-05-27T13:35:52.290+01:00Interesting comments about the kind of trade stall...Interesting comments about the kind of trade stalls at a garden show.

And at a time, February, when flower are a delight. Unfortunately, all the show garden tend to be so overblown that most people couldn't afford them.

But yes we do need a water feature in the garden - not allowed any at the allotments :( boo hiss<br /><br />Sue - oh have you watched any of Chelsea this year? I think that show spoils everything for me, I love the gardens there this year, especially the small ones.<br /><br />Diana - oh oh, second person to think a water feature is a good idea, we may have to get on to this :)<br /><br />Ian - a most hearty welcome! I am (slightly) associated with Aware too - they have recommended my Allotmentherapy essay to people, good people trying to give much needed support. HECK YES, I would have thought the name was in the title too, but you are so right, it was like a fete and that is not what I paid for :( In fact, in Hillsborough on that same day there was a fete and a craft fair/auction - probably just as garden focused. *rolls eyes*Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01475182740888543862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8376693003192814341.post-14939394140004557702012-05-24T08:17:31.919+01:002012-05-24T08:17:31.919+01:00I designed and built a show garden last year - ...I designed and built a show garden last year - 'one 4 the journey...' in association with Aware Defeat Depression. I got a lot of personal satisfaction out of building it. I find that the show is more like a giant garden fete rather than a garden show. The public enjoy it but this year in particular I heard a lot of disappointed rumblings about the lack of show gardens in particular.
