Flower Show

I spent a pleasant few hours at the Taunton Flower show today, and it is a lovely atmosphere with lots of lovely plants, too.  Funnily enough, I just felt duty-bound to add to my garden with a couple of plants that I'm sure I need.

Next year may be the last time that this event is held in the council-run park.  Apparently (and I know local councils are strapped for cash) the cost will rise exponentially, and the organisers won't be able to continue.

This may not be on the same level as Chelsea, but it is a pretty important date in the Somerset horticultural calendar.  I can only hope that someone, somewhere finds a solution!

Toby Buckland was there on a panel answering gardening questions today - what fun and how informative he is.
