  Reply | Contact Hi There, My friend and fellow gardener will be in England for the show and to visit several gardens (haven't selected them yet - there are SOOO many).  We are avid gardeners, and I do some garden design and she has a garden clean-up business.  Is one day sufficient to see the show?  If so, should we get tickets for the first or second day to avoid the largest crowds? Thanks! Annie

  Reply | Contact Don't know about which day to go for, but if you are organised, get to the show early and have lots of stamina, then you can see everything in one day.  If you can stay on until the end you will have time to go back for a second look at anything that particularly interests you and still have some rests. If you are only over for a short while then you would probably be better going to look at some more gardens than spending more time at the show.  Presumably you won't be buying plants? That can take a while when deciding how much more you can carry. Enjoy your stay! Susan B
