Sally Dynevor opens Corrie garden at Southport Flower Show

As reported a few days ago here on the Coronation Street Blog, there's a Corrie garden at this year's Southport Flower Show.  Sally Dynevor, who plays Sally Webster on Coronation Street, launched the garden yesterday ahead of the main festival’s opening today.

The garden features recreations of the Rovers Return and the Coronation Street road sign as well as chimney pots as seen in the show’s opening credits.

Sally, who arrived at Southport’s Victoria Park yesterday afternoon, said: “It looks great – I love the idea of the bar in the middle of all the flowers. Southport is lucky to have such a great show. I think my character would absolutely love it and take tips back to her own garden – Sophie would come if her mum asked her, while Rosie would be really bored but would want to come in case there’s any nice garden designers to meet!”

Well, that's what Sally thinks - but what do we think here on the Coronation Street Blog about the Corrie themed garden? Tune in after Friday this week when two of our Bloggers are heading to the Southport Flower Show to report back on the Corrie garden exclusively for us.  With a bit of luck, they'll also get photos of Corrie cast members David Neilson and Patti Clare, who play Roy and Mary, as they'll also be at the Flower Show on Friday.

Hmm... wonder if there's any Coronation Street roses in that garden then?
