I promised to post some more pictures from the Main Avenue gardens at RHS Chelsea 2015.

The first images are of The Cloudy Bay Garden which was designed by Harry and David Rich in association with Vital Earth.  It portrays the subtle layers of complexity of the Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir signature wines from Cloudy Bay.

The planting was frothy and romantic with bold statement structural domed yew.

The focal point of the gardebn is a moveable oak structure on rails which can be moved across the garden.

The last Main Avenue garden I’m going to feature is the Brewin Dolphin Garden which is designed by Darren Hawkes.  It features more than 40,000 pieces of hand-cut slate.

I really liked this garden, from the planting to the structure of the suspended platforms.

Both these gardens were awarded gold medals.

On Friday we visited the RHS Malvern Spring Festival – it’s one of my more local shows so I was curious to pay a visit.  It has a county show feel about it with lots of local crafts and exhibitors as well as the usual amazing floral and horticultural displays and the show gardens of course.

As I write this email, the wind is howling outside and the thought of sitting in the garden isn’t very appealing.  But there have been some glimmers of summer over the last few weeks and it’s always the time we start to think about the garden again. Read more

Over the two weeks of RHS Flower Show Cardiff it was really interesting to travel the same road each day and see the leaves unfold.  Not all the trees are fully out yet around our Welsh hills, but yesterday we took a walk to see if the bluebells were in flower in the local wood. Read more
