Well this
was the best show yet as thousands of visitors flocked to see one of the
UK's best flower shows. With top celebrities like Sir Norman
Wisdom, Michael Starke and Ricky Tomlinson on hand the show was set to be
one of the best yet! Other celebrities included Anne Swithinbank,
Nigel Colborn, Roddy Liewellen, Prof. Stefan Buczacki, Prof. David Bellamy
and master chef Mike Cullen who cooked up some tasty displays of his own in
the Herbalretum.
"I
have to say I am coming again and that this is a really good show for all
levels of gardeners." a first time visitor from London told
us. One of the many gardeners we spoke to said "We have
been doing this show for along time now and seen the standard grow each
year. This is now one of the best shows in the UK and should be rated
as such. It is also the most friendly and inviting show I have been to
and we have competed in all the top shows through out the UK!"
"As
I watched the 34 acre site take shape, I knew this one was going to be one
of the best shows yet. The intricate and novel ideas that were taking
shape was fantastic. I had a problem as I was laying down our garden,
but the others helped me. This is the fantastic thing about
Southport's show, that even when we are competing against each other, the
real British spirit comes through and every one helps each other. I
would never miss it for the world and I have to say that this is my favorite
show to go to, and we have exhibited all over the UK in most of the top
shows." another
green fingered gardener told me.
Well we will let the pictures
