Has anyone been to bbc gardeners' world live?

[VivaLeBeaver]

It's at the NEC in June. I was thinking of taking my mum for a treat. She likes gardeners world and has been to Chelsea flower show in the past which she liked. Is it similar but smaller to chelsea? Is there outside bits with little gardens? Thanks.

I have been to GWLive a couple of times, never been to Chelsea before but guess it is similar. GW has both indoor and outdoor attractions. There is the big marquee with lots of different plant and flower displays/ stalls to buy from. There are also a lot of stalls inside with clothes, gardening wares, furniture, outdoor decor etc. Outside has similar types of stalls plus all the show gardens which are fantastic. There is the "plant swap" where you can take a plant of your own to exchange with something else that takes your fancy ! There is also the added bonus of your ticket getting you into the Good Food Show! Lots to see, buy, eat and drink ! In my opinion, a great day out, if not tiring !!! Enjoy !!

Good food show you say? I'm sold!

Thanks, it does all sound good.
