Chelsea Flower Show













Hello from London.  After many attempts to see the Chelsea Flower Show I have actually managed it this year ... and I'm suffering from sensory overload!  It has certainly been worth the wait - this show really is every gardener's dream.

  1. Making me homesick!

    Someone described the Chelsea Flower show as 'rather good rings on rather grubby fingers' - wonderful!

  15. More, more, more please Leigh,
    Please take more photographs, I too would love to go one day.

    I made a horse similar to the one in your photograph once for the Bong Bong races years ago. I must did it out.

    Thanks for your lovely email last week, I would love to catch up with you when you're back in the Highlands.

    It's been raining here ever since you left. Which is great for our gardens.

    Have a wonderful holiday,
    xx Coty

  26. Oh Leigh,
    Isn't Chelsea just the best flower show EVER ?!! The show gardens are out of this world, as are the smaller gardens. I loved the lock which was so realistic. The Australian garden was so emotional, as they were meant to be there last year but lost all of their plants and even lives in the bush fires. They were all in tears when they got their gold medal.
    .... and, the perfume in the tent is out of this world.....the sweet peas are intoxicating.
    Fabulous post, fabulous photographs and I'm sure that you are having a fabulous time. XXXX
