Starting the journey
Worked till dark last night loading the first of 11 trucks going to Chelsea. This lorry had just 10 big tree ferns on it for Andy Sturgeon. It was exhausting loading them so that they don't move on the long 150 mile journey. Brian the driver has promised not to do too many handbrake turns!
It's much cooler today, which is a relief. It was so sunny and windy that everything was flopping in the heat. Today we have to get the first load of Gunneras loaded for Arabella Lennox-Boyd. It was too hot yesterday to get them out of their shady tunnel. Today we have to get as many as 15 on the truck, not touching at all, which will be a nightmare as they are like horticultural velcro. Quite how it will go we don't know yet.
Must put some attention today to our own exhibit, it's Jurassic themed. We must mark out the exhibit on the ground and start to select some plants. It's only 6 days till we stage it. Perhaps we've left it a little late!
