Hi all, it's nearly time again! Loughborough Show next Saturday, 11th March.

REMEMBER IT IS A NEW VENUE. GO TO THE OLD ONE AND YOU MAY BE 1) LONELY AND 2) VERY DISAPPOINTED

The new address is Shepshed High School, Forest Street, Shepshed, Loughborough, LE12 9DB.

When you exit the M1 at Junction 23 go West instead of East taking the A512 towards Ashby. Turn right at the first traffic lights onto Leicester Road. After 0.7 miles bear right onto Forest Street. In 500 yds turn right into the schools campus.

We hope to have lots of signposts up to help.

Nurseries attending are:-

Aberconwy Nursery
Choice Landscapes
Edrom Nurseries
Hartside Nursery
Laneside Hardy Orchids
Little Heath Farm
Norwell Nursery
Parham Bungalow Plants
Pottertons Nursery
Barthomley Botanics (Razvan Chisu)
Slack Top Nursery
Tale valley Nursery
Thuya Alpines
Edulis Plants

So you get better parking, better light in the show hall, better toilets and lots of carrot cake

Two general photos of the show by Razvan Chisu - easy to see how the light in this new venue is much nicer than the old one

And from Lawrence Peet - who I hope is having a good day with his plants too - photos of the Farrer Medal plant and AGS Medal 6-pan class - from Paul and Gill Ransom. Congratulations Paul and Gill on this - not only a fabulous Farrer plant, but a great six with six different yellows!

"Farrer medal for Dionysia sarvestanica ssp. spathulata and AGS medal (6 pan) for Paul and Gill Ransom STUNNING!!!!!!!"

just got home - much better venue - lots of parking - hall was large and light - there also seemed to be a lot of plants on display - and a lot of people

need to have a cup of tea and have a look at the photos (and try and distribute the boot full of plants around the building so it doesn't look like I have bought anything....)
