22/05/2023, 10:05 – Ian Williams: The hard work of four days and overnight preparing, has produced this magnificent Blackmore and Langdon stand at Chelsea Flower Show.
The Delphiniums were prepared last Thurday and ferried to Chelsea on Friday, for staging. Then the journey back to the nursery, to prepare and load the begonias, that were taken to the Show, late Saturday night, early hours of Sunday morning for staging. Very little sleep, before final preparation through Sunday.
Crack of dawn Monday morning to check the stand, before judging this morning, Monday, 22nd, May.
Will not know the results for a while, until judges compile the results.
The hard work continues, until Saturday, 27th, May, when one hundred and sixty eight
thousands of visitors’, visit Chelsea, it’s a continuous question and answer, session, when the enthusiastic public enquire about the cultivation of Delphiniums and Begonias.
Good luck B & L., the N B S., wish you well.
