A blooming good show!

Your garden might not be looking its best right now, especially if it's still snowy out there as you're reading this, although it won't be long before those spring flowers start to bloom, bringing a welcome touch of colour and the promise of lots more to come as we head towards summer.

But if like June's your garden is a bit of a wilderness at the moment or maybe you just want to ring the changes a little, the next Girls Around Town guest can definitely point you in the right direction...

Just over the border into Lincolnshire and the beautiful setting of Belvoir Castle to be precise!

The man behind the Belvoir Castle Flower and Garden Show since its launch in 2018, Andy Tudbury will be on the phone to the studio in the second hour of the show this weekend to look back at some of the highlights of the first two events.

He'll be reporting too on the 2020 show, that went ahead a little later than originally planned with a few changes to comply with Covid-19 regulations, and will be sharing news of this year's show which is scheduled to take place on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 July.

"We have some great content already lined up for the summer, some you will be familiar with, along with some brand new additions," says Andy. "You'll find newcomers to the gardening world rubbing shoulders with some of the best horticulturists in the country, specialist growers, garden furniture, sculptures, tools and much more.

"And fabulous food will tempt you to sit and relax while you listen to the live music on the stage."

If you're  a budding garden designer or landscaper, there's still time to enter the new Design and Build competition sponsored by CED Stone and it's not too late to book Early Bird tickets for the show either.

Or better yet, make sure you're tuned to 107.8FM or listening online from just after 11.20am on Sunday for details from Andy about these and some of the other things to inspire you on the flower and garden front!
