A traditional small farmhouse in Cambodia. Most farming is concentrating on rice farms. Hence half of the year the fields are empty and dry like the one farm shown on the picture here.
All family lives and works together on a farm. Thus family bonds are tight and loving. Traditional values of family is much higher than in industrial countries of Europe or USA where the value of family is near zero and the hunger for ego oriented career is killing more and more family relationships.
Farming in Cambodia is simple and mostly organic. Yet in a country of abundant water and fertile tropical climate the harvest depends only on the farmer's skills to plant and grow in harmony with nature. There is room to improve farming without the use of any chemicals or mono-culture systems.

Looking back over the week I think the show has been another great success.
During my more 'sane' moments this week, these are some of the things which gave me most pleasure, in addition to the floral marquee. I particularly admired the flower beds - especially Noah's Ark and the Stoke on Trent to Patagonia bed.
The Visionary Gardens, although not my personal favourites were very much a talking point. I think the category could potentially be extended - even if it is a bit 'Emperor's New Clothes'.
A real highlight for me has been the introduction of the Fruit and Vegetable section, which inspired a great deal of interest among adults and children alike. I hope this section returns and extends next year!
By the way, this is where you could often find me this week, writing my blog in the shelter for rain or sunshine in the Tatton Tent!'
So as 4pm and the great sell off approaches, it's 'hold on to your plants', watch out for walking hanging baskets and here we go for next year!
