    I wonder how possible it is for the camera teams to have access to the displays etc without impacting on the public's access to the show and vice versa image


    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Well said re funding, Dove.

    Camera crews were dodging the crowds when I was there on Wednesday, setting up for their next interview or piece to camera.  I suppose filming in more detail could have taken place before or after opening, though.

    Please will someone let me know if I'd be duplicating an existing thread, if I start a "Chelsea photos" one?  I find it really difficult to use the "search" function - it won't organise the threads chronologically for me...

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Tootles - loved that clematis too - think it was called Tiagra, on the Thorncroft stand.

    Liri - would love to see your pics. Haven't seen a thread yet, so go for it and I'll add a few of mine image

    Loved my visit this year.  If less big sponsors mean more feel good gardens, then bring it on image

    £100 for a non-RHS member ticket, blimey. Think of all the plants you would purchase for that image

    I haven't watched much of the coverage on the BBC this year but I see the same complaints popping on the forum up as last year.... Too many 'slebs and not enough of the plants, gardens and growers.

    If I see comments raving about a particular episode I might be tempted to look it up on on iPlayer, but otherwise I can't be bothered this year.  I'd rather look at the photos posted by the gardeners on this forum.  Stuff going on here inspires me a lot more than "Chelsea".

    That's the badger Yviestevie! Good memory for names Chicky!!

    Isn't it a beauty!

    Think I'll be treating myself to one. 

    Very grateful for the photo - thanks!
