Despite the weather outlook garden enthusiasts and agapanthus were out in force at the Tatton Park Flower Show this year.  I managed to escape with my shins intact despite a close encounter with a plastic trolley, the likes of which John Grimshaw so fondly writes. Here’s a few highlights from the show.

The Most Persistent Agent Award for the show goes to Daniel Trotman who put forward a strong case to join the RSPB.   They do not specify a joining fee and only ask that you give what you feel is fair.  No wonder they have over a million members. Learn more on the inspirational RSPB website.

Wow,  just look at this display of alliums by Warmenhoven. I had to buy some.
