INDOOR GARDENING:
Port Eliot Festival: A Flower Show out of Left Field
Port Eliot Festival: A Flower Show out of Left Field
Port Eliot's inaugural Flower Show, almost certainly a first for any
British arts festival, promised not to conform to the usual etiquettes,
nor to stick to the standard rules.

"I'd always wanted to do a flower show," Catherine says. "I love the
grassy smells and the atmosphere, although I always think the 'floral art
tent' sounds a bit deadly, a bit intimidating.
Our idea was to encourage people like me - people who would never normally
enter a flower-arranging competition - to express themselves in a
different way." The show was set in a walled garden between Port Eliot's
19th-century Orangery and Lady St Germans' cutting garden.
In designing the setting, Michael took his inspiration, from Mrs Miniver,
a wartime propaganda film, set around a flower and vegetable show - the
kind of community produce show that still pops up all over village England
in the summer.
He wrapped tent poles in exuberant trellises of ivy, hydrangeas and
iceberg lettuces - all fake, but beautifully coordinated with striped
bunting and a Raj-style pavilion. There were high-rise pedestal
arrangements in the Orangery, tea and cakes, a brass band and a
flower-arrangers' "box scheme" for impromptu entrants.
The classes, as devised by the co-directors, presumably over a few glasses
of wine, included "an arrangement in a thimble for a tea party of mice"
(children only), "More Tea Bishop?" (an arrangement of roses for a summer
tea party) and "Hoe, Hoe, Hoe!" (an arrangement of weeds).
To judge them, Michael and Catherine were joined by designer Kitty Arden
and Lady Boyd (whose garden at nearby Ince Castle, is open under the
National Gardens Scheme). "We weren't interested in perfect flower
arrangements," Michael says.
"We were looking for inspiration, a little bit of magic."
