The whole team has been busier than one armed bricklayers at the moment getting the garden ready for two very important dates. Thankfully the first passed successfully on 20th May with the arrival of BBC’s Antiques Roadshow.
Four days spent tweaking and tickling the Italian Garden for one day of filming which will be shown in Autumn. I reckon it was good value as it is regularly seen by up to 7 million viewers, after digesting Sunday dinner and hopefully in need of some cheer on a cold wet Autumn night. Also, it has a healthy viewing across the globe and I’m glad to say the team and Mother Nature really shone. The Rhodos looked stunning, set off by beautiful lawns and late spring bedding.
The whole event went very smoothly, a great BBC team and the whole Tatton behind the day – makes you proud to be a part of it.
The other major event was our busiest Bank Holiday weekend for our predominantly spring garden. Getting it as good as possible was, as ever, our priority. I reckon nature has a big hand in it looking so good, but let us never forget that it’s the relationship between gardener and nature which is the real reason for it all looking so good. Why don’t you come and see it for yourself!
