Hi my name is Bev, I came up with my idea Basket BROLLY with one goal in mind: providing a solution to save my hard earned gorgeous-looking hanging baskets from being ruined by the weather. I love gardening and am particularly proud of my hanging baskets, there is nothing that gives me more pleasure than seeing a full-color display of glorious flowers decorate my garden. Unfortunately, our summers are not always hot and hazy! The great British weather as we all know isn’t the best, it can be beautiful one minute, and feel like the onset of winter the next. Heavy rain, strong winds, and a spell of prolonged downpours can be ruinous to flowers. Once admired displays turn into an unrecognisable colourless mess with now soggy wilting geraniums, broken begonias, and the trailing lobelia looking like a rotten bunch of weeds. It is heart-wrenching after all the loving care, and time and effort spent (not to mention expense) to see once beautiful baskets and pots ruined so quickly. A once picture-perfect display no more.
“Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain.” – Vivian Greene
“Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food, and medicine for the soul.”Luther Burbank
I tried everything I could think of to protect my baskets and pots. I bought garden protection bag covers that were supposed to be specific to protecting plants but found these were paper-thin, way too small, had little protection, and didn’t last much more than twice. I used umbrellas, and not just on my hanging baskets but on my pots as well which ended up blowing away, and even cut up bin liners and pegged them together, the wind swiftly pulling them apart.
I knew what I needed but couldn’t find the solution anywhere and so came up with my own idea. 4 years later after going through patent protection and now granted :-), a lot of design and manufacture, here it is! A sustainable multi-purpose protector for hanging baskets, pots and plants, and an incubator for your seedlings be it summer or winter.
I hope you L O V E it as much as I do!
"MOVING BEYOND THE IDEA STAGE IS NOT EASY, BUT IT IS POSSIBLE..."
Define your vision and your “why” I SOLVED MY OWN PROBLEM, THE IDEA CAME TO ME INSTANTLY, AND I HAVEN’T LET GO OF IT SINCE. I ONLY EVER SAW IT’S SUCCESS
Take consistent action every day “PHONE CALLS, VISITS, COLLABERATIONS, WHATEVER IT TOOK, I HAD FAITH AND THIS HAD MY TIME”
Seek feedback and support “EXHIBITING AT A MAJOR TRADE FAYRE BEFORE MY PRODUCT WAS READY FOR THE MAIN MARKET TOLD ME ALL I NEEDED TO KNOW. THE FEEDBACK WAS IMMENSE, I WAS OVER THE MOON, I LEFT THERE KNOWING WHAT I NEEDED TO DO NEXT”
The only way to make your vision a reality is to put in a lot of effort, draw lessons from your errors and keep going without looking for perfection. “PERFECTION DOES NOT EXIST, DONT LET PERFECTIONISM OR FEAR OF FAILURE STOP YOU FROM TAKING ACTION. INSTEAD, EMBRACE IMPERFECTION AND FAILURE AS PART OF THE LEARNING PROCESS. IF YOU BELIEVE IN YOUR IDEA ENOUGH, YOU WILL SUCCEED”
