Win Tickets for RHS Chelsea Flower Show with Lime Orchard

I've been working with Garden Design specialists Lime Orchard to produce a web page supporting their prize draw to win tickets for RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

The brief was to direct visitors generated through local media advertising to the web page to allow entry on-line. The entries are then collated on a back-office database to allow them to be contacted later to let them know they were successful or not!

Visit www.limeorchard.co.uk/chelsea2012 to have a look or enter yourself!

The photo top-left is one of mine also! I've had the privilege to work on a number of show gardens at RHS Chelsea Flower Show over the years and this picture is from 'The Marshalls Garden That Kids Really Want' that won a Silver Medal in 2008

Planning for 2012 with Lime Orchard

Had a really productive couple of days with the team at Lime Orchard Garden Design. We've been doing all the 'boring' stuff in business - assisting the bookkeepers with the VAT, PAYE and CIS, planning the cashflow and most importantly, updating the business plan for the coming 12 months!

To quote  www.startupdonut.co.uk, "planning without action is futile, while action without planning is fatal"

Photographic Commission for Auction House

I have completed my first two-week photo commission for specialist auction house Timeline. They specialise in antiquities and ancient coins which I've been photographing for their website and forethcoming catalogue. Some really diveres lots - from 70million year old dinosaur eggs to Egyptian Shabis to a metal baby feeder that's probably 300+ years old!

I quite enjoyed getting the detail out of this Chinese gilt-bronze Tang dragon vase:
