A week of flowers: Chelsea Flower Show
London turned on the most magnificent May bank holiday weekend weather for the last day of the Chelsea Flower Show yesterday. And I'm exhausted but very happy after a day of wandering around magnificent show gardens and inspecting the most perfect blooms - not to mention scoring BIG TIME when the Chelsea pensioners rang the bells for the 4pm sell-off. So much fun. I'll be posting some of my highlights over the next couple of days.
In the meantime, check out my favourite garden at the show, the HESCO garden, from Leeds City Council. A tiny patch of the Yorkshire dales in Chelsea, the lush cottage garden featured a stone potters shed amongst the most gorgeous pastel blooms and a meandering collection pond, for excess rainwater (flash flooding being a timely local concern).
