  Seeing Hampton Court and considering Britain's interest in gardening makes me think that a National History of Gardens would be a great campaign for GW readers and the BBC team.This would include chronology of show gardens from periods in the past. It would be a national attraction and a repositary of plants,seeds and design. Anyone want to create a national lottery history bid here based on a area of high employment?>

  We went to HC on Sunday - enjoyed the show apart from trying to avoid the numerous irritating plastic boxes on wheels that everyone seemed to be buying.

  Hampton was a great success this year and as always I couldn't resist from returning home clutching a new plant - http://blog.theenduringgardener.com/plants-to-take-home/
