June 2022. Our first expedition into the world of horticultural shows, and boy it was a mad one! We had no idea what we were doing, and turned up with our freshly printed high-vis vests looking around at this giant exhibition hall with nothing but fear in our eyes.
It turned out to be one of the best things we ever did. The chance to design a display on such a grand scale was incredible. We went mad, driving back and forth between Bristol and Birmingham collecting all our giant plants from the shop, because clearly we hadn't planned very well!
It was a crazy week. H had also booked in a huge hire job with the RWA Bristol during the same week, and we had also just launched our Glitch collaboration, plus had our retail shop to manage. On top of that, H had her best friends wedding in France to get to, leaving Mama T and the girls in charge. It was high stress, but totally worth it.
