I suppose if I ask myself why I loved Chelsea
flower show so very much it is because I was inspired. Really inspired. I’ve come home tingling with excitement,
with new ideas about how to design my own gardens and with a large wish list of
things I want to buy and plant. It’s not just the gardens that are inspiring, but the exhibitors themselves go to a
huge effort too.
One of my absolute must haves for this year
is the new rose from David Austin Roses called tranquility ( it’s the white
rose in the collage below) you can
listen to the Audio below as I caught up with David Austin to find out a bit
more about this years roses

I was also really delighted to see Burgeon and Ball at the show .. the stand looked fabulous and there was so many things I wanted to get. The latest thing are some strap on knee protectors .. which I have to admit to being a bit skeptical about .. probably because I don’t think that they will stay up on my knees! But I can recommend their kneelo which I use almost daily!
I was delighted to debunk the can’t move a peony myth
as I talked to a peony specialist.

Of course I was ever on the quest for supporting the British Flower industry so I was really pleased to see The Real Flower Company and I caught up with their beautiful posies and Rococo chocolates.
I must also thank interflora for the tickets I won for Saturdays Chelsea RHS flower show!
Love all your photographs. Did you go twice? I always think I need to go every day of the week really to see everything properly although having the tv programmes on each day does help.
ReplyDeleteNo I didn't go twice .. but there was such allot to photograph and look at I had to write 2 posts up !

Will have to check out the kneelo and the new David Austin roses. Problem - where to try and squeeze them in. So wish I could have been there this year.
