I had not watched a lot of the tv coverage before going, by not much I mean I watched one programme that I recorded and I FFd through some of that. So to a large extent I had no idea what the gardens were going to be like and I think this was not as bad a thing as I had feared as it meant I looked at them all as if for the first time. What I knew I did want to see where the conceptual gardens. I like the principle of these gardens because they are not necessarily replicating what I might see in other gardens, but they are trying to make me think. Some do this more effectively than others.







This is rather a brief glance really at some of the gardens and I will write a further post on the other show gardens that I particularly noted. It is worth noting that whilst I have particularly noted some, this does not mean that I have not mentioned others that they are not also worthy of note, it might mean I just might have missed seeing them. I know for certain at least one garden I intended to see I never found. Did I mention the show is big?
