Graduate Gardeners make gold at Malvern

I was fortunate to have the day at the Malvern Spring Gardening Show - never been to such a show before. A little too much consumerism and shopping for my taste but still great fun - and especially enjoyed the two gold winning gardens....Graduate Gardeners of Bisley and Hannah Genders - the latter was particularly good re veg and I am sure such gardens can only encourage folk to grow more.  The video is a little rough as it is only a small digital camera and I haven't quite got the hang of it - but hopefully a flavour of the two gardens.

A friend from Bristol went but did not show me anything as inspiring as this... a two-storey garden room? Looks more like my future studio!! (Oh dear have I just dropped into consumerism there... :)

Did you happen to find out if those fountains were solar powered - I've only managed to find ones that dribble...

Caroline, the photovoltaic cells on the side of the building charge a heavy duty 12volt battery that then runs the 12 volt Oase Trio water feature. Hope this helps if not ask for Derek at the Green Shop Bisley!!
