It is only a few days to a brand new Chelsea Flower Show 2017 and so I would am sending a few photos of my favourite gardens from last year's show. Are we going to see even more exiting ones this year? The designers keep delivering amazing project every year and they have been doing it for over 100 years. The oldest and most renown flowers show in the worlds will surely surprise and amaze us again!
There will be a fewer big show gardens this year due to sponsorship problems but some designers are back, including Chris Beardshaw and James Basson. There will also be plenty of smaller gardens. Jo Whiley’s will have some curved seating...
