CHELSEA 2023
in Plants
It has arrived again, rewilding and sustainability are going to be big it would seem.
Are you looking forward to seeing these types of gardens, or do you crave the impossible budget busting gardens of years gone by?
I used to hate seeing plants at Chelsea that don't grow naturally together for whatever reason, something that happens less these days
What will be the top plant this year a buttercup maybe? Or do you crave the huge Delphiniums from Blackmore and Langdon?
The weather will be beautiful for the show. Then we could be facing another dry summer, if weeds grow well maybe it is time to embrace them. Maybe a garden with drifts of dandelions and ground elder are the future for Chelsea.

I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

Will there be box plants featured or will the show gardens look at alternatives only.
In the future bamboo may also disappear from the shows too due to climate issues.
The flower tents are better. You had to dodge people with cameras, now everyone has one. On TV you get Carol Klein, over made-over, and all that giggle-talk. But you can see something to interest you and Carols scipt is usually good.
"Have nothing in your garden that you don't know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."
I visited Chelsea many years ago when Dan Pearson won best in show with a roof garden. It was a very wet friday and amazingly you could see everything, even if it was muddy. It helps to be tall too.
I think we should praise the nurseries that exibit too exhausting work.
Yep surely another Gold for Chris Beardshaw stunning planting and very clever design I love it.
People forget that it is a SHOW, it is theatre, it is not supposed to be real.
I also disagree that it is hard to see the Show Gardens, people move along quite quickly, and I never found getting a good view a problem.
