The organisers say it's a good concept that has been well received but say that the Edible Garden Show will not now go ahead due to 'The painfully slow recovery from recession'.
The concept of a show might be good but it still bothers me that 'grow your own' is a passing fad for many that won't be around in such a big way next year.
Am I wrong here; are there enough 'real' vegetable gardeners to sustain this segment of the gardening market - perhaps all this grow your own is not just talk on blogs?
To my mind, if this self sufficiency format is a good one, then launching in a recession is exactly the right time as family strive to grow their own produce and reduce ourgoings.
Are exhibiting prices too high or maybe it's the sponsorship prices? £15,000 to sponsor the bar and catering?
The show is now scheduled to debut March 18-20, 2011 at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire.
