It is such a colossal show and despite being at the event since ten in the morning we didn't get the chance to see everything, focusing our attention at the show gardens, floral marquee exhibits, as well as attending a blogger's event hosted by the RHS. We will be back on Saturday however to catch up on some of the thing's we have missed.
More photos of the event today will follow later in the week, especially of what's inside the Floral Marquee (a plantsman's paradise!).
Mark :-)
