Scampston Spring Plant Fair, North Yorkshire - Sunday 10th June 2012

Posted by David Beasley Garden Design on May 20, 2012 at 7:24pm

Hi Folks

I am well aware that I have never produced (or entered for) "An Award Winning Show Garden" or paid big bucks for a stand at a recognised "Flower Show" and as a result, I may be selling myself short and not getting the exposure/leads that I need/deserve!

So, as an experiment, this year I am going to "bite the bullet" and do something similar as a gentle introduction to the "cut throat" world of self-promotion/hard-sell.

Scampston Estate, near Malton in North Yorkshire has an amazing walled garden designed by world famous Garden Designer Piet Oudolf and holds two Plant Fairs annually with exhibitors from specialist plant nurseries and associated garden suppliers.

For the Spring Plant Fair on Sunday June 10th, I have booked a 3x3m stand and will be exhibiting my entire Portfolio to visitors with the hope of securing some Garden Design Commissions with them/their associates.

Wish Me Luck!

    That's my son, Bobby Beasley, at Scampston Walled Garden two years ago if anybody's wondering!

"Plus it doesn't matter if we all know plants are better value. I'd make the point of this to the customer but if they want trough grown at the extra cost that's their choice I'd just do it"

"I've done 5ft Thorne troughs. Very easy to plant just got a mini digger dug the trench then drop them in couldn't be easier however £250 per m does seem expensive. "

Thought I'd sign up to this forum. And I hope I'm allowed to post stuff for sale on here as this will be a one off? I have for sale a tiny pro robot, it's not the new edition but it's the bigger one of the two. If anyone is interested then please…

"Disagree there!  I maintain a site with a couple of of large laurel hedges and one cut in July suffices and keeps it looking nice.  Agree.... looks nasty immediately after cutting but quickly perks up so you don't notice the cut leaves.  Pretty much…"
