Mary has just told me that the "People's Choice" of favourite garden at the Chelsea Flower Show, something determined by vox populi at the show, was the plasticine garden. As a school teacher I take great heartening from this announcement: with such ignorance there is a guaranteed need for education in the world and future employment opportunities for teachers.From a horticultural viewpoint: those canvassed were people with a keen interest in gardening - they paid dearly to go to the show - and this is their level of appreciation of gardening!Paddy
The favourite overall garden was the Cancer Research Garden , see here....http://www.rhs.org.uk/whatson/shows/chelsea2009/show/cancerresearch.asp with flowers, seats and even some grass: but the grass is actually Leptinella squalida!
Durban Botanics didnt get any coverage on TV
