Chelsea Flower Show 2017


Not impressed at all

Pro's
Artisan Gardens esp Ishihara Kazuyuki’s ‘Gosho No Niwa’
Feel Good Gardens esp Zoe Ball's Listening Garden
Some amazing carnivorous plants
It was sunny

Con's, 
Show Gardens, in particular The Silk Road Garden and The M&G Garden.
The Welcome to Yorkshire garden was no better than our front bank with some water in the front and a pastiche ruin at the rear (read our house)
Crowds
Up market bling for the nouveau-riche
Ghastly sculptures
Pimms and lemonade for £6:80 for a half pint (did the trick though)
Crowds

Trends
Common Oxeye Daisy
Salvia (in various forms but mainly purple)
Digitalis (all forms)
