Keeping the horticultural show on the road - with Andy Tudbury

Belvoir Castle garden show organiser Andy Tudbury knows a thing or two about garden shows having completed 28 in his career.He set up the Belvoir show four years ago and has been advised by shows expert Stephen Bennett to keep the quality high including, he jokes, running the "garden show with the cleanest toilets in Britain".The 2022 show is on 16-17 July and is the longest continuous garden show in UK having traded through the pandemic. Tudbury explains how the "jigsaw" of stands, ticket sales and attractions add up to make the event viable.Tudbury's expects a bumper year with a record number of applications (42) for garden designs will be showcased at the event. And though some growers turned to online sales and away from shows during lockdown the atmosphere will be like "letting a cork out of a bottle of Prosecco". Hosted on Acast.
