The first set of images were taken of Jo Thompson’s The Chelsea Barracks garden for Qatari Diar.  Jo’s gardens normally include soft voluptuous planting and this year the scent of the roses was amazing.

Diarmuid Gavin was back this year which always brings a bit of fun to the gardens.  Really I needed a video recorder to feature his garden because although on the surface it’s an English cottage garden when the garden literally came to life, the topiary twirled, the planting around the tower spun around and the window boxes moved up and down.

Hampton Court Palace Flower show 2012

The RHS Hampton Court Flower Show opens next week.  For once the run up has been dry, but I have no doubt that the heat won’t be so welcome over the weekend because it will be a challenge to keep the plants looking fresh for Monday when the judges will be making their rounds. Read more
