After last years success the show was back for another weekend filled garden bonanza as it brought the creativity and passion of the regions top floral and landscape designers together, delivering stunning displays that were coupled with an extensive array of garden and floral retail products, as well as great food and entertainment for the whole family.
Floral Displays
Bursting with colour and fragrance, a stroll through the Floral Display Marquee gave a chance to watch floristry demonstrations and to be inspired by some of the most impressive and breathtaking arrangements.
As a main feature of the Lincolnshire Garden Show, the British Isles Rose Society (BIRS) held their first National Rose Show that attracted National exhibitors.
Flourish Garden Design Team
At the show was the Flourish Garden Design Team that does a number of services including general gardening, architecture, fencing, lawn, flowers and more.
Cordelia and Lyn are the brains behind the company, who met when studying at Lincoln University.
Both have a passion for garden design, whilst Lyn admits “What excites me about garden design is the variety”, colleague Cordelia agrees she loves spending time in her own garden, so “gets a kick out of helping people to get the same feeling in their own garden”.
Festival of Food and Drink
Packed with local, national and international produce, from an extensive range of wonderful cheeses, tasty sausages, fine wines, liqueurs, pickles, chutneys to much more, with many stalls offering 'try before you buy' tasters.
