It was awesome! So much work achieved by everyone, and the weather was an added bonus. Can’t wait to return next year!
Great show, we had a fabulous time today. I love buying plants from the experts and getting advice for how best to care for them. A bonus is then being able to take the children around the museum and to the play area. Will definitely return.
