I am told (by someone in their employ) that the plants are ordered for a
show like Chelsea and are delivered for them to the show, they never even
visit cornwall, they justify this by claiming they are from "partener
nurseries" It gets worse, plants people order from them at the show are
not owned by the nursery but are sourced after and delivered direct from
the grower without ever visiting cornwall. I would not say the majority
do it, most are indeed proud of their plants but the fact that at least
one does (with the knowledge of the RHS apparently) means I have never
wanted to go.

Well, we've said we won't go again because of the crowding. I'd rather
watch it on telly and actually prefer Hampton Court because it's easier to
move around and you can buy plants on the day. But what you're saying is a
real disgrace, IMO.
