Our local press carries a story this morning of an Australian pair (Phillip Johnson and Wes Fleming) winning Best Show Garden this year. After nine years.
The local pic shows very little of the garden so will have to search on Chelsea site. Good to see Australians doing well!!

John the enthusiasm and 'over the moon' reaction of Phillip Johnson on the radio this morning was great to hear.

Thank you for showing those of us who can't get to Chelsea what we are missing Stan. The emphasis on TV seems to be on gardens whenI would rather look at the plant exhibits in the pavilion. The AGS stand looks impressive with many interesting plants.

A TOUR ROUND THE AGS STAND
The display was designed by Ray Drew - Some really great colour there.
edit : there are quite a few photos taken by Doug Joyce of the stand and posted by Jim McG. on the AGS site now

-such fun to see that Corydalis 'Craigton Blue' is featured again!

Judging from the tele reports I haven't changed my view that Chelsea is an overcrowded; overpriced; over design orientated; over "personality" orientated opportunity for the horticultural hoi polloi to be in "town". Situations all much loved by the RHS. Or am I just an old Yorkshire cynic

............indeed but there are lots of good plants - here from some of the longest established nurseries in the country -first Blackmore & Langdon with tuberous begonias and delphiniums, then Kelways famous for peonies but also iris and three views of the very large Hillier stand which literally scraped the roof and could not be fitted into one view even with a very wide angle lens.
