Blue Daisy Blog

We’re really excited here at Blue Daisy because we are offering a new Garden Advice at home service so if you’re looking for new ideas or you have an area you don’t know what to do with contact us.

Not content with just advice at home Nicki will be starting to run some workshops during summer and autumn this year for beginner gardeners, growing vegetables and even garden design so if you want to know more please visit our garden advice & workshops page.

As you know Nicki has been studying the HNC in Garden Design at Pershore College, she has registered with Lantra for a small amount of funding to support her on the course.

This particular funding is for women training or re-training in a male dominated industry and she has been nominated for an award!

The awards are being held at Nailcote Hall on 30 March 2011 so watch this space!!  If you want to find out more about it click here!

For all those who felt inspired by Hugh Fernley-Whittingstall winning his first ever ribbon at his local fruit and flower show now's your chance to give it a go yourself!

The Earlsdon Flower Show is on September 4th this year and anyone can enter any of the 70+ classes that are available.  And don't worry if you're not a flower grower either - if you bake a mean cake or make your own jams and/or chutney there are classes for you to enter and there's also a brilliant class for the kids - who can make the best animal out of fruit and/or vegetables? Don't feel like you have to enter though either, you can just turn up and have a fun couple of hours!

The show is at St Barbara's church hall on the corner of Rochester Road and Beechwood Avenue and entry is free.  Viewing starts at 2.30pm and prizes and trophies will be presented at 4.30pm.  If you want to know what the classes are they're here:
