The Cheshire area of Nafas have created a gold medal winning display inside the Floral Design Marquee. It's inspired by Mondrian and Andy Goldsworthy. Pam Orton, one of the designers, explained
"We decided to call our exhibit Sculpture Park in celebration of the Cheshire Year of the Garden and the Cheshire Artists' Network's - Art in the Garden. After we had decided on a title we were able to look further for our inspiration." Further sources of inspiration come from Mondrian and Andy Goldsworthy. The result is a lively, vibrant arrangement. 
Also in the marquee The Welsh College of horticulture have certainly caused a stir! A stunning, floor to ceiling wall of flowers and coloured wire fills their display, a beautiful kaleidoscopic ball completes the exhibit, which is proving a great talking point for visitors. pollen-flowers posted a photo

Underlaying dry straw or grass to protect strawberries from fouling. Strawberries are easily fouling when nearing the dark red ripe stage. A rainy day wet soil from irrigation may cause strawberries to foul. Hence there is a need to keep the fruits away from soil, either with a layer of clean low grass or straw as practiced here in this photo.
As long as the strawberry is green or partially green, the fruits easily survives rain or wet condition. In the final 2-3 days before harvest however the strawberry turns into a a very fragile fruit.
The dark red ones are ready for harvest NOW, the other one with the greenish tip still needs another 2-3 days.
Strawberry fields need to be harvested every day during harvest season. One single day too late may either surrender a ripe fruit to snails or fouling.
