Anyone going or been to Chelsea

I was last year and been watching it all week .

Next year hope to get back.

 

Interesting as the Chelsea Sculpture Show may be, I've never quite "twigged" why it is thought relevant to gardening, other than the fact that a few of the sculptors incorporate the odd plant into their architechtural designs.

 

Have to agree with that.

When aged parent used to go, her main interest was the pavilion with all the plant stands. She stopped going when the RHS made one too many price hikes. In her opinion, the television coverage is a joke. I mean if you want to see anything of the plants in the GP you've got to press the 'red button'. Well I've got news for them - if I press the red button on my zapper - it turns the set off !

and another thing - at least £47 to see QPR play at home - I should CoCo!

Cheers.

 

Lots of the plants on show were prepared for Chelsea at Crocus who happen to have an open day next weekend.....

Visited Chelsea in the past but overwhelmed by the number of peoople scrambling all around trying to see the show gardens - not really my 'cup of tea' - that was quite expensive too as I recall..

 

Inside the pavilion is well worth it for gardening! So full of variety .

Many many photos, with more and more getting uploaded
