How Does Your Garden Grow? - Gardeners World Live 2014
As promised here is my follow up post about Gardeners World Live 2014.
I simply had too many photographs to share in one post. That is why I wrote a separate post about the RHS Floral Marquee which you can read here.
In the main exhibition halls there were stalls and stands selling anything that you may need for the garden. You could buy tools, plants, garden machinery, green houses, furniture, sun houses, there was everything. Among the stands were beautiful displays which constantly caught the eye. The room was full of inspiration to help create your own personal space in the garden.
Along with the many stands and displays were stages and talk areas where some of the Gardeners World experts were. We had the pleasure of watching Carol Klein and Joe Swift. But the highlight definitely had to be listening to Monty Don talking about Longmeadow.
Like I said in my round up posts of RHS Floral Marquee and Good Food Summer Show to be able to get the most out of both of the shows I would recommend visiting over two days. However if you are only visiting the one, get there nice and early and make a full day of it. This is a fantastic show that is a great day out for any garden lover.

How Does Your Garden Grow? - RHS Floral Marquee Gardeners World Live 12th - 15th June 2014
On Friday 13th June 2014 we visited the Gardeners World Live Show at the NEC in Birmingham.
Every week we watch Gardeners World and are always on the look out for tips and ideas on how to develop our garden further. This was an event that we were both looking forward to. Over the weekend the show were holding family days. However we decided to go down just the two of us so that we could dedicate all of our attention to this fantastic event.
When we arrived we were amazed at the grand scale of the show. It was enormous! There was just so much to see and so little time in just one day. Next time we are planning to visit the show over two days so that we are able to see absolutely everything as we know that we just did not have time to see it all.
As I have taken so many pictures I am going to share them over two posts. In this post I am focusing on the awe inspiring RHS Floral Marquee. As soon as you enter the marquee you are greeted with a mass of vibrant colours and a beautiful floral scent lingering in the air. In the marquee were over 100 of the countries leading independent nurseries displaying their floral works of art. That is the only way I can describe the stunning displays that really were natures work of art. You could spend hours just looking in amazement at the displays and speaking to the people who have dedicated so much time and care nurturing the plants to their perfect show level. There were displays of all plants imaginable. Ranging from plants that you will find in gardens to plants that you have never seen before. All of the display and stall holders were so happy to help and talk about what they had done or answer any questions. We even leave the RHS Marquee Tent with our own little lime tree.
The rest of the post is heavily photograph based. I took so many photographs, narrowing them down to these was hard work. But I feel that the ones that I have selected will give you a taste of what to expect if you visit next year, which I highly recommend!
I hope you enjoy them!
