    As most of you know Chris O'donoghue (a.k.a Boghopper) is currently exhibiting at Chelsea this year with his medieval herb garden which had a quick mention on Tuesdays Chelsea flower show on BBC2 and he's won himself a Silver-Gilt!

    So Congratulations Chris!:gnthb:

    and I hope to see your efforts on Friday from what I saw on the show it looks fantastic:wink:

    I watched it too and a big congratulations from me, Chris ... I'm proud that someone from GC is so inspirational ... I think your garden is very peaceful ... so important these days.

    Thank you for being part of 'us' and sharing your ideas with us throughout the year.

    I'm gutted. I know the show was on telly, but didn't bother to watch it. I'd completely forgot that one of our lot was on it, I'd have loved to have seen it.

    Anyway, congratulations Chris. Well done. If it repeats on telly, I'll look out for your bit.

    Now that was a little garden which I liked a lot, and I didn't know that 'one of us' was involved
    Well done Chris ... you have done very well. A silver gilt at Chelsea is not to be sniffed at :)
