What a week (or four) it has been for us!

It was our first time back at RHS Chelsea flower show for seven years.
For a small team like ours, it’s a huge undertaking but one with incredible rewards.

Here’s a small selection of the highlights for us…

👸 Anne receiving Queen Camilla at our stand while Sue undertook some RHS council duties, giving a guided tour of the show to HRH Princess Royal.

👑 gardening royalty, Carol Klein, filming on our stand. She was showing off a selection of Geranium sanguineums (you can catch this on episode 6 if you go onto bbc iplayer).

Some of the Geranium’s featured above:

This week has been about as stressful as it ever gets at Bluebell - with a quick turnaround between and RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

We had a fantastic week at Malvern but with just 3 days to unload the van, tend to the show plants, reload the van(s) and be back on the road, there wasn’t much time for putting our feet up.

Here’s a snippet of Sue “behind the scenes” on Wednesday - the team are at the show today starting to unload and build the display.

We can’t wait for the big reveal!

If you aren’t going to Chelsea, the nursery and ‘Belle’ are still open as usual Wednesday to Saturday, 10-5.

Chelsea here we come... Here's a sneak preview of some of the plants we're taking, and how we protect them from damage in transit. The van is loaded and we're off first thing tomorrow morning...

May is a mad, manic, marvellous month for us. Last week we were at RHS Malvern Spring Festival and won a Gold Medal for our display - our first at this show :-). We're home for three days, then off to RHS Chelsea Flower Show on Thursday - returning after a break of 7 years... More news soon!
