I feel like one of those entertainers who keep lots of plates spinning on poles! Most of the time I just love the adrenaline, but sometimes it can be a little over-whelming. I normally prioritise my work by deciding what is both urgent and important, and doing those tasks first. But at the moment all my work is urgent and important! It is varied though, which is great. I start the planting on my Stoke Newington garden tomorrow. It will be nice to get out of the office… so long as it doesn’t rain and hale like today that is!Now I wouldn’t want you to think that I’m complaining about being busy; I wouldn’t have it any other way. But my business is in that awkward stage where there’s too much work for one person, but not enough income to employ someone to help. It’s a tricky time for all new businesses.
The lovely students at the Inchbald School of Design have volunteered to help out at the Chelsea Flower Show. They will be handing out leaflets and plant lists when the show is open, so come and see us all if you have tickets to the show. My garden will be on Royal Hospital Way. It’s called The Hasmead Sand and Ice Garden. See you there!
The Chelsea Flower Show takes place from 22-26 May 2007.
All tickets must be booked in advance of the Show. Ticket booking line 0870 906 3781.
