It was all very lovely at Chelsea –subtle colours softly intermingled with one another in pleasing combinations. It has to be said that the odd splash of vivid color came as a relief. At home I have a small courtyard garden where I can indulge in my love of bright reds and oranges without agitating the soft colours I use in the rest of the garden – I think we all need a bit of visual excitement, and when it came to the plants used in the gardens at Chelsea, harmony rather than excitement was the order of the day.
