Picture
View of the show from the Cafe Balcony
The 2019 Show was held during a stultifying Heatwave in London and the blinds had to be closed across the glass roof and huge industrial fans imported into the Lindley Hall to keep everybody cool. The show also combined the Botanical Art and the Portfolio Photography under one roof - which eliminated space for all the educational and trade stands related to botanical art which have been much enjoyed by visitors in the past.
