Hi all
Unable to go to the Chelsea show this year due to work commitments, I've just finished watching all 15 shows on catch up.
O goodness...
If I did see the show gardens - main avenue, artisan, fresh...I don't remember them as I spent most of the 15 (yes, 15 despite it only lasting 1 week) TV shows fast forwarding to get to the actual gardens. I don't know why I bothered. Genuinely can't remember what the highlights (gardening-design-wise) were. Were there any show gardens this year..anyone...?
And call me picky, but spotted most of the shows were also presented by, err...non-gardeners.
Seriously unimpressed. Come on BBC, reduce the no.of shows and increase the quality. I watch it for the gardens and design you know...
Is it just me. ?
Thank goodness I have tickets for Hampton C...

There are some positive comments on this thread....but not many.
Thanks Plant Pauper!
Just scrolled thru the comments on your link, cheers.
Made me giggle, h he.
What can I say but, cancel this post - it's all already been said

Keep going it's very entertaining! I don't have a TV so I read about it!!!
There's also a thread started by some people who attended and their photos are stunning! Well worth a look. I can't find it. There are various other threads too if you just type in Chelsea. There's even one almost entirely devoted to Monty's suit!

Thanks both
The gardens at Chelsea Flower Show are usually quite ridiculous and unrealistic. There were only a couple of gardens that I actually liked this year.
