MIFGS Update – 15/3/13

We are half way through the build stage now and our garden “The New Wave” is coming along very nicely! The Pavilion is up, the pond is starting to take shape and our beautiful plants have arrived and are waiting to be planted.
With only four more days until judging and five days until the show opens to the public on Wednesday 20th March, the pressure is on! Despite this, we are all having a ball working together to create our garden and are confident that it will all come together by next week. We can’t wait to share some more photos with you once we start planting.
In the meantime, have a look at the latest photos from construction…
