  • This is the first year I have been unable to watch Chelsea on television or visit the show as I now live in Czech Republic, there is nothing like it here. It is such a shame that a shortened version of the television coverage cannot be televised and shown on the BBC world news so that people like me can enjoy a little bit of what is the beginning of summer. Gardening is not so popular here but hopefully by trying to create an essentially english garden in a foreign country I will be creating a greater interest in a great hobby.
  • Am I alone? I visited Chelsea last Friday with a keen amateur gardening friend.The crowds were vast so that we were viewing the gardens with people packed sometimes six deep.It was a challenge to appreciate the gardens when you have to struggle to see them!
    We are regulars at the Gardener's World show and are perhaps spoiled by the display stands where plants may be bought and expert advice is cheerfully provided. Head North gardeners!
  • whilst watching the RHS Chelsea show , i saw a plant which i think was a russet coloured "cotton grass" which i believe is native to Canada. It is in the sedge family I think. I have the normal white cotton grass growing around my pond but would love to have some of these lovely peachy coloured fluffy heads waving around my pond. Does anyoe know where I may get some? or seeds I have scoured the seed catalogues but cant find any. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Thankyou.
  • There are four main philosophies of feminists with differing goals in therapy including socialist, radical, cultural, and liberal. First, socialist feminists emphasize the need for change in institutional and social relationships. Next, radical feminists focus on the need for change in gender relations and societal institutions. In addition, they strive to increase women's self awareness in regards to her sexuality and her desires and views for having children.

  • I watch Chelsea on the TV every year and then go out into my own garden and tell it "None of them beat you"! We all make our gardens to suit ourselves and that includes treats like white foxgloves. I too am rejoicing that the bees are being catered for.

    @margaret..i am with you there.. it is impossible to fully appreciate the gardens when there.. i wish we were able to wander round like they do on the telly.. it seems a bit of waste of time..if people cant actually enjoy them fully... it has gone very commercialised lately and i dont see it getting any better.. this is first year i have not been and have seen the gardens much better sat on sofa..image

    I liked the trend towards naturalistic planting of native wildflowers. And that's about it. As another poster said, I have my own little patch and that's good enough for me.
