Excited to be in the final stages of planning an exhibition stand for a client at the New Forest Show next week - 26/27/28th July 2011. We have been taking deliveries at the Chapel for the last couple of weeks of everything from print to pop up displays, from flags to astro turf. Really starting to get a feel for what the stand will actually look like - I think better than the CGI - a good representation of what we have promised the client but in the flesh it will feel so much nicer.
In particular the roses... yesterday we shopped for the roses from Pococks in Jermyn's Lane, Romsey, Hampshire http://www.garden-roses.co.uk/ ... proved very tricky to choose roses that will be flowering in a week's time. Generally they are not flowering as well as they should be with current low temperatures and also thrown by summer starting very early this year! Star purchase I think will be either the 'Ballerina' rose or more likely the fantastic red 'Ruby Anniversary' which we will put front centre of the stand to draw the public's attention!
Update to follow next week showing the completed stand, CGI shown below
