Garden Progress...
It has been the wettest April since records began, so not the sort of weather we have had the last two years when building the show gardens at Jacksons, In previous years we’ve been slapping on the sunscreen, instead we’ve been waddling in wet weather gear and wellies!, Not at all helpful when building and digging to a schedule. However progress has been made and the two new gardens are looking fantastic. Alison’s Natural Reflections is all but there and Kari’s Within the Weave is romping up behind, so as long we don’t have any disasters in this last week leading up to the opening we should (fingers crossed) be finished in time. Hope those aren’t famous last words! The gardens will open to public on Saturday 19th May and from then on they will be open during Jacksons usual opening hours. The five gardens from previous years are all having face lifts, with new planting, paving cleaned up and fresh coats of paint, so everything should be looking tip top by the end of the week. I took some pics, on a rare day when the sun actually shone, of both the gardens in the early stages of their development. They’ve moved on a lot since these were taken, but I’m not going to show you those as we need to keep some mystery…
