The Curve shelter is to be the star of Jacksons shows this summer

It’s Show Time!
June and July are traditionally the time of year we at Jacksons Fencing like
to take ourselves and some of our lovely products, out of the office to some
of the summer shows. This year is no exception – we are at Royal Windsor
helping the country celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday. After that it’s The
Royal Bath and West, a fortnight later The Cheshire County Show and then
in July The Kent County Show. That should keep us busy.
Those of you who are regular readers will hopefully have spotted the
feature I ran on our fantastic new Curve a few months ago. This new garden
shelter has created quite a stir, so it wasn’t a difficult decision when
considering what should be the mainstay of our show stand this year. Yes
of course it has to be the Curve that will be travelling around the country
giving the show-going public a chance to see it in its full glory!
If you are more of a garden show, than a county show type of visitor,
we have a presence at BBC Gardeners World Live at the NEC in June. I
can’t promise you a Curve will be on show there, but we are sponsoring
a wildlife friendly show garden called ‘The Green Connection’ by awardwinning design team Wardrop and Stevenson. This will feature our Woven
and Venetian panels, and I’m happy to say some of our hedgehog friendly
gravel boards. That will hopefully keep raising awareness of the diminishing
numbers of these lovely creatures and what we can do to help them by
making sure they can move easily between our gardens.
This time last year we were at full tilt preparing and building our Silver
Gilt medal-winning show garden at RHS Hampton Court Flower Show. It
was a proud moment for all of us at Jacksons. Imagine my delight when I
received a call from the show manager asking if we would consider lending
the RHS the facades – that were a big feature of our show garden last

year? Well that’s a yes of course! They will feature with other Jacksons’
products in four front show gardens, that are result of a competition run
by BBC local radio stations and the RHS, so look out for this if you visit
Hampton this year.
