Drizzle with outbursts of heavy rain was the order of the day at RHS Chelsea today, so apologies to my readers for some rather dark images. The 15 show gardens are featured here - in random order - all taken whilst dodging in and out of the rain and trying to get near enough to photograph them, as the show was already crowded at 7.00 am. But the good news is that the forecast is set to improve so many visitors to this years show may be lucky enough to see these gardens in sunshine later this week. When the medal winners are announced later today, I will add details.
