It all started with an idea.....
just a small idea formed twelve months earlier at tatton in 2004, an idea that incorporated a greenhouse.
Andy Jameson's idea to incorporate a ramshackle greenhouse into the following years stand. It seemed such a good idea that he was allowed to run with it. The results speak for themselves..........
The start of Tuesday and the building is assembled and most of the stock is unloaded and about to be installed into the garden.
