Lynn in Bristol Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Is anybody going there on Saturday? It sounds really sad, but this show is my annual treat - I go with a friend for a day away from the kids and spend loads of money on plants and stuff. Really excited to see that Omlet are going to be there - can't wait to see the new cube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karen & co. Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 We had a great day there a few years ago it's a lovely place to go Unfortunately we can't go this year (we are moving house!) but have a lovely time karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I'll be there on Saturday! It's combined with good summer food, and grand designs. Therefore our small fortune may turn into a very large one! There is something there for all the family. We have some family who work for Gardeners World, so we get complimentary tickets! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubereglu Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Cool, wish I could go, I've never been to one of their shows before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 They're really fab, and everybody seems to do tubtrugs really cheaply. Last Year Breast Cancer Charity, did a whole range of gardening equipment in pink! Lit the place up really! They did tubtrugs in pink for about £2.

ubereglu Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I saw some of their range last year and thought it was a really good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twiglet Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 just got back - timed it sooooooo well, weather was great until we got back to the car, then the heaven's opened. On our brief half-hour journey back we passed loads of floods!!! Resisted the temptation to splurge the credit card (I AM getting a new cube next month) met Amo I think it was on the omlet stand and got a good look at the cube. Jules - Alan did an interview in the theatre show we saw about 40 yrs of Gardeners world and about himself. I have to confess about being a bit of an Alan fan, 2 years ago I queued up at the GW show and got his autograph and photo but I have to keep it somwehere discreet incase people think I'm a nutter . I have also read his autobiography - very humerous and interesting, and all his novels, not bad but I like my fluffy chick-lit stuff better. Anyway glad we managed a dry day - the chooks are growing webbed feet!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
