What a day yesterday was. We received a bronze medal from the RHS judges and were inundated with queries about the garden. The garden had survived the heat and the dry wind, what an achievement.
We had lots of positive feedback from visitors. One person commenting " Your garden inspired me in 2019 , this is even more inspirational", another " I wish my garden was like that, that's how a garden should be".
A great deal of excitement all round. Brilliant!!!

The results are now out for our Virtual Show 2020. It has been great fun looking through all the entries and realising how much hard work has gone on this summer. Bill (Tabb) has done an excellent job judging the entries, it is nearly as hard as judging for the "real" show!
I hope we can all keep talking and sharing throughout the winter and perhaps finally meet in Spring next year.
