Our biggest challenge of the day was lifting our huge box balls into place! These beasts took a forklift and three men to put them all into their new home!

We’ve also brightened up the place with the CoppaFeel! colours and started to mount the mirrored acrylic onto the steel.

It’s all go go go…

And of course, there’s never a bad place or time to CoppaFeel!

It even made a few new friends!

From 7:30am day 1, three diggers excavate the garden whilst delivery after delivery gets signed for and ready for construction. Thankfully all the excavating was completed just before the heavens opened! Please keep away rain for the next few weeks!

The Buxus balls are looking excellent and I cant wait to see them in the garden. The Verbena’s needed a little talking to to get them growing a bit faster, but I have all faith they will be flowering in time. The hornbeam hedge also looks great, but again I would like to see some fast growth before the show – so my fingers and toes are crossed.
