We have something almost as good here in the Loire Valley which has international acclaim but rarely picks British winners merely because it foolishly sees The Chelsea Flower Show as competition. It's held in the grounds of the Renaissance Chateau of Chaumont.<br /><br />One day I will make it to Chelsea! Your pictures have inspired me!<br /><br />Stephaniemillefeuilleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608950213999238191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-82636325248018392812014-05-26T17:38:38.530+01:002014-05-26T17:38:38.530+01:00Thanks, Gillian.

Despite other garden trends trying to sway me (and occasionally succeeding, such as prairie planting, which isn't really possible in a small garden), I always come back to the cottage style. <br />I enjoyed the second part of The Women in Art programme last Friday - third and last part this Friday. I hope you enjoy it when you get a chance to see it. There was also a programme on Women Pop Artists presented by Alistair Sooke, BBC2, I think, which was also well worth a view.<br />Best wishes<br />Ellie<br />Ellie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-6492760806612218052014-05-26T15:26:04.134+01:002014-05-26T15:26:04.134+01:00This is great - I haven't seen much of Chelsea...This is great - I haven't seen much of Chelsea Flower Show this year but I feel like you've just summed up the best of it for us here. Such inspirational planting, and I love that tree trunk seat too.<br /><br />Thank you for your recommendation for the Women In Art programme. I haven't seen it yet but I heard someone (Debora Moggach maybe?) raving about it on Radio 4's Front Row a few weeks ago and it sounded interesting. One to watch on the iplayer. xGillian Roehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05080123177116154219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-5016020501552273272014-05-26T12:41:29.046+01:002014-05-26T12:41:29.046+01:00Thanks, Mirjam.

I hope I can visit one day too, although I think it would be a very busy show and quite difficult to see everything you wanted to, due to all the other visitors! Also, I do like to buy plants when I visit a show and I don't think there is so much opportunity to do that at Chelsea.<br />Best wishes<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-74228682045335249382014-05-25T21:31:45.667+01:002014-05-25T21:31:45.667+01:00Yes, I have been watching too, every evening!!

There seemed to be lots of naturalistic planting this year which was lovely to see. I'm hoping that one year, I might actually visit in person!<br />Best wishes<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-25663182410068325062014-05-25T19:24:14.929+01:002014-05-25T19:24:14.929+01:00Thanks, Chrissie.

They are from the RHS Chelsea webpage and it is well worth a look http://www.rhs.org.uk/shows-events/rhs-chelsea-flower-show . The TV coverage did make it all look gorgeous though. One day, perhaps I will go!<br />Best wishes<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-83223961438175982372014-05-25T19:16:34.293+01:002014-05-25T19:16:34.293+01:00Beautiful photos!
