Objectives
1. Create a TV commercial
2. Take pictures for: -
a. Magazine advertising
b. On the internet
c. Marketing product library

Strategy
The challenge is... advertising has to work ahead of the natural rhythm of the seasons

- magazines require pictures and advertising copy weeks before nature creates the right environment.

- With Cook's enormous experience in all things horticultural and the aid of heated glass houses and artificial light the challenge was met.

Cooks had visited the site in advance - as part of the planning process and come the day of the shoot were in a position to supply a lorry load of plants in bloom months earlier than would normally be the case.

The Cooks team got everything in position screens, plants, shrubs etc.

With the ground cold and wet great care had to be taken to avoid damaging the grass.
