It's been a couple of weeks since the RHS Spring Flower Show in Cardiff, but it was such a good weekend that I thought I'd write about it belatedly. The weather was magnificent, the turnout enormous; but I still heard afterwards that many people did not know that it was going on! That's a real shame because it's a great day out. There were two marquees with floral displays and presentations, retailers selling plants and gardening accessories, a few show gardens, a wheelbarrow competition (where local schools plant up a wheelbarrow based on a theme of their choice and visitors vote on which they like best,) a food hall, craft stalls, a farmer's market and a bandstand where various bands performed over the weekend. Not to mention a whole host of other interactive activities, including tree climbing demonstrations.
We took our two-and-three-quarter year old son with us, not expecting that he would be able to stay for the whole day; but we were pleasantly surprised that there was more than enough to keep him (and us) entertained throughout the day for the whole event.
The third picture is the line for ice-cream! One of the longest I've ever seen. This was also our first market since we decided to streamline our product lines and redesign some of the packaging.
All in all it was a lovely weekend. The new products were received well, particularly the hand creams, and it was good to see lots of repeat customers.
