I've now added the Chelsea Flower Show to my "been there, done that" list. The show gardens were inspiring and many of the trade exhibits gave me lots of new ideas to apply in my own garden.
Claire's work's garden (The Savills Garden) won a gold medal and how fitting for me that it was themed on gardening and art inspired by the Tate Modern!
Claire joined me after work and we wandered carrying the obligatory Pimms. I also enjoyed the many floral window displays around Sloane Square and in Sloane Street itself - Sloane in Bloom.
My favourite show gardens were
- The Laurent-Perrier garden (Gold and Best in Show)
- Garden in the silver moonlight (Silver)
- The Marshall's garden that kids really want (Silver)
- Jamie Drurie's Australian Garden (Gold)
- Daylesford's Organic Summer Solstice (Silver gilt)
- The Daily Telegraph Garden (Gold)
- The Reflective Garden (Silver gilt)
I was inspired by the courtyard gardens which measured about 3m x 4m
- Mist-placed - the appeal of ruins
- Princess Moon - East Wind II - plant arrangements
- 42 Catherine St - use of recycled materials
