Our annual drive into Central London was today for the RHS Plant and Design Show, held in the RHS halls by Vincent Square, we generally avoid driving in, after all its usually much quicker by train. However for just one day a year we do drive in... Why? so we can load the car up with plants!
With the house renovations pretty much complete our attention is back to the garden, and thinking about new specimens to replace those damaged by fire. For that part of the garden we need to blend the old garden with the new, so have decided to purchase one or two larger plants for some instant impact. With Crug Farm attending we knew we would be able to find something to fit the bill!

As always there was plenty to see, although the show was disappointing compared to previous years, with a large selection of potatoes taking up a lot of space and a slightly random greenhouse "art piece". However Crug and Trewidden had plenty of great exotics to tempt us with. And we did pick up a few small items from other nurseries.

The show is on for another day, so if you are in London its worth popping over (we hear Crug were expecting some more plants to arrive for tomorrow! Gaz
