Back again after a break due to the pandemic and we are pleased to be involved again showing the best of Home Grown plants and some new cut flower introductions.
Today, we have won the silver gilt medal for our display at the show and spoken to many visitors about cut flower production and breeding of ornamentals in the UK as well as the characteristics and garden performance of the plants that they grow.
Thanks
