Miss Potter with young 'animals'
As Garden Tales begins to take shape, my task is to work several months ahead to plan media coverage in the national glossy gardening mags. This means coverage in the November and December editions which will be worked on in the next few weeks. Today my young assistant called round 15 titles for their copy deadlines so we can have text and photos ready – and of course this means winter shots and a plug for Christmas presents.
We handle all publicity for Fanshawe Gate which starts with the Spring open garden for Christian aid and moves onto the main summer season, usually with a particular theme for the year. To mark the completion of the Kitchen Garden in 2007 we had a Beatrix Potter themed children’s quiz and ‘Miss Potter’ visited to judge a fancy dress competition. Good for visitor numbers and great for memories. We are going to enjoy ‘telling Garden Tales’.
