Mark and I have just returned from the the Chelsea Flower show, so much to see and so many people to chat with. It was great to catch up with a whole bunch of fellow bloggers, nursery folk and designers, some we have met before and some new face too! As you can imagine we have taken loads of photos between us, and it will take a little longer to sort them all out, however here are a small sample of some of the gardens that caught our attention.
The Telegraph garden designed by Tommaso del Buono and Paul Gazerwitz. I didn't expect to like this as much as I did, its a garden that would actually work as a garden. Almost too perfect in terms of presentation.
Mr T talking about his garden - although I must admit to being less than overwhelmed by it.
My favorite in the Fresh category - Royal National Institute of Blind people Garden
A trade display, that was as good as many of the show gardens... (A Khora conservatory)
The DialAFlight Potter’s Garden, where would the Artisan gardens be without a rustic shed or two...
Arita artisan garden - we really liked this one. I have a couple of ideas from this that I may use in our garden.
Simple and elegant
Togenkyo – A Paradise on Earth designed by Kazuyuki Ishihara. His gardens always delight and are full of intricate details that you need to devote sufficient time to note.
Not sure what the connection between Stoke on Trent and a Robot is, perhaps they are suggesting Stoke resembles the future in The Terminator Films..
All in all a great day, lovely weather and loads to see. We will share more posts over the next few days with details of individual gardens.
