Last year was my first trip to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, it changed my world. This year, it didn’t have the same gobsmacking impact, but I could appreciate what I was seeing much better. The gardens I enjoyed more – the ones I liked the most had a story, like a fantasy world set piece, which is what I think a garden should be. Because… why not!
1) A garden impossible to believe it had just been constructed


2) Dark Matter = a video game scene in real life

3) Stylish dwarf conifers

4) Plants under your feet


5) The Cloudy Bay Garden’s wispy planting

6) A hideaway you could imagine hiding away in (despite the crowds)

7) When the hidden bit is best

8) The garden everyone wanted


9) The ultimate upside down bouquet

10) The moment everyone loved Lupin Masterpiece again

11) … And when they presented Dahlias flowering months earlier than they should

12) Japan

13) A giant wicker thing

14) The shed we all want

15) Smelling the South of France
