The artisan gardens are what it's all about, and they look quite special. All too often the large displays by noted designers leave me cold. The 'Stop the Spread' garden, although very clever, was I feel wrongly placed at such a show. It's designer quite rightly sources her plants from uk nurseries such as Hilliers, and that's commendable, but most designers and landscapers today are the main culprits when it comes to the import of diseased foreign specimen shrubs. Perhaps it could instead be made into a permanent display in Hyde Park for future generations to take note. There are sadly too many gardens at shows now with some sort of agenda, and the artisan gardens you mention bring it all back to the core of what it's all about. Pleasing to the eye. Thanks for the interesting post.Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255717931620460104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453240984293111218.post-60419959510104356932013-05-22T20:53:39.183+01:002013-05-22T20:53:39.183+01:00Charlotte, Thanks so much for your posting today....Charlotte, Thanks so much for your posting today. I wish that some day I could get to the Chelsea Garden Show. When any one of you from over on the other side of the Big Pond post photos of the show, I get jealous. It is such a creative garden show. I always get an idea or two when I see photos from there. Thanks again.Gardens at Waters Easthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007610849161868747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453240984293111218.post-51385328207308886032013-05-22T13:47:00.512+01:002013-05-22T13:47:00.512+01:00Not a huge fan, to be honest.

I do like the WaterAid garden, maybe just because of the reference to India and the very Indian use of so many marigolds.Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291223943168030684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-453240984293111218.post-91790979247524577172013-05-22T11:03:51.915+01:002013-05-22T11:03:51.915+01:00How delightful they all are!

These are a real treat and seem so much more like real garden places than some of the larger works.<br />FrancesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
