Another yellow flower
Chelsea is always full of surprises and this year is no exception. A lot has been made of the fact that there are fewer show gardens than in previous years because of the credit crunch, but that doesn't mean the show won't be good. Looking at what the RHS has planned, there are still plenty of exciting exhibits and the showground is brimming with different features. In many ways this will make for an even better show, as the exhibitors and designers have really had to think creatively about how to make the most of the plants and resources they have. I can't wait. Roll on show time!

many thanks to Barbara for letting us have this shot
It's always interesting to earwig on conversations at a flower show, you can't really help it when there are so many visitors, and everyone's got their own ideas as to what makes a great show garden or exhibit. One comment I hear time and time again is how inspiring the gardens are and how they're going to try to copy 'that' colour scheme or 'this' style of planting. The thing that I'm going to take away and copy from this years show is not plants but paths.
The back to back gardens are very good for hard landscaping ideas and I spotted a brick edged path in-filled with pebbles stuck into concrete, much like a mosaic. Or, there's a stone path with grass instead of mortar and something more contemporary, a metal grid suspended over a bog garden - almost like a bridge. However, the one that I'm going to copy at home is the path in 'The Garden for Bees'. It's a gravel path planted with an informal drift of thyme, which smells as good as it looks. The good news for me is that I've already got a gravel path, all I have to do is add the 'thyme' and once the flower show is over, I'll have the 'time' to do it. Info from:
