CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW – A RIOT OF COLOUR!
Well it was that time of the year again – the Chelsea Flower Show. I must admit it is always the highlight of my year - design wise and horticulturally speaking. I love the atmosphere. I enjoy the hustle and bustle, I drown myself in the rose exhibits (literally!), I take snaps of plants and flower combination that I find interesting, I also take photos of hard landscaping details – such as how a step is built or how a cantilevered staircase looks ( I am a rather sad construction geek at heart and Swiss!).
But Chelsea is not just about those things, it’s about searching for excellence, reinterpreting old stalwarts of design like paths, steps and seats, re-inventing a look and sometimes, just sometimes, coming up with something so totally amazing you leave with a head full of wonderment at how inventive man just is!
Anyway let’s look at pictures and there are plenty. I did have to go through over 350 of them and pick the highlights to share with you. I have not mentioned every garden but you can visit our Facebook page to see all (well most) of them.
It would be too much to put everything on here so please do follow the links with loads of pictures if you are interested- it's nice to share the lovely things I saw and enjoyed this year :)
