Cocoa Garden (Winning Entry)


June 14th 2014 we visited the annual BBC Gardeners World show in Birmingham.
I have visited this event so many times since it started and I always find it very inspiring as well as interesting too. Lots of stalls to buy gardening stuff and there is a floral marquee with exhibits of all types of flowers and vegetables, with many plant nurseries selling their plants too. We bought a few perennials for our front garden as well. The "Show Gardens" were very good this year and designed very well I thought. The winner was a garden based on "Cocoa" with seats that looked like Cocoa beans (photo above) together with a chocolate pool and Cocoa Bean trees too.
Thankfully the weather was very kind and the sunshine made it a great day to stroll around the site looking at everything. Amazing to think that these exhibits are only temporary and all will be taken away now the show has ended. But it was well worth the visit and I'm sure i'll be there again next June!
