What a show! We had a wonderful time at the NEC in Birmingham, and as always, the people we met were as friendly as we have come to expect when we display in the Midlands. 

This year our display won us a Silver Gilt Medal, and we are very pleased with this result - it is always lovely for the quality of the display to be recognised by the judges, and it is often equally gratifying to be congratulated by the show-goers too. We aim to inspire people with our display by showing the herbs in interesting and sometimes novel ways, and this years paths were a great success, with many people commenting that they have a very similar path or patio at home that could do with the Hooksgreen Herbs treatment.
The thymes we had on display and would encourage you to try in paths and along walkways are: Woolly Thyme, Creeping White Thyme, Thyme Bressingham Pink and Creeping Red Thyme.  

It is such a busy time of year for all the team here at Hooksgreen Farm, with everyone working flat out until well after sunset as we prepare to head off to Blenheim Palace Flower Show this weekend. We hope to see you there, and have our fingers crossed that the bright, warm weather remains for us all to enjoy this weekend.

Happy Gardening.
