GREEN-fingered love ... Alex and Alice
Love blossomed in the potting sheds
25/ 7/2003
LOVE blossomed when a green-fingered couple shared the fruits of their labour.
Alex Daley, 26, from Bollington and Alice Devaney, 25, from Wilmslow fell in love as they worked side-by-side in the pot section at Wilmslow Garden Centre - and have since grown inseparable.
Now the flowering pair have designed a garden for this year's RHS Tatton Show Park where they hope to inspire thousands of visitors to chill out and fall in love.
Alice said: "Alex is passionate about plants and it rubbed off on me, now we're passionate about each other."
Their design with a "strong sense of tranquillity, solace and relaxation" is called Served Chilled which they say is a garden designed for relaxing and entertaining. Designed to look its best in the summer months, the plot has cool colours of silver, white and blue which are set off against a burgundy foliage.
The RHS Tatton Park Flower Show is open to the public today until Sunday, July 27. Call the ticket hotline on 0870 9063811.
