I do agree with you - it is a stage set and ordinary gardeners would never be able to attempt any of the gardens unless they were accompanied by a lottery win. It is a place to be seen I think too. I like to focus on the planting more because sometimes you can find a plant or combination that you can use in your own garden. I have visited RHS Tatton, Gardeners World Live and RHS Chatsworth and these are much more accessible.<br />Best wishes<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-71435681336222724362019-05-24T11:01:06.376+01:002019-05-24T11:01:06.376+01:00Thanks, EC.

It was a woodland type garden too and had a rope swing and tree house and fire pit. It seemed very popular with the children who were allowed to play in it. I'll add in a photo at the end of this post.<br />Best wishes<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-54193984778836360282019-05-24T10:59:26.998+01:002019-05-24T10:59:26.998+01:00Thanks, Briony.

I liked the garden in the first picture as the swing seat powered the water feature.<br />Best wishes<br />EllieEllie Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437259693600577503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-46705033733815272002019-05-24T09:47:54.398+01:002019-05-24T09:47:54.398+01:00I caught some of the coverage too, its nice to see...I caught some of the coverage too, its nice to see ideas that you can incorporate in your own garden, even on a small scale xcxChrissiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13613570629230619992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-54119730229079815032019-05-24T09:08:49.267+01:002019-05-24T09:08:49.267+01:00I've missed the last two nights' programme...I've missed the last two nights' programmes - they are recorded but I was doing other things. I'll probably delete them . . . <br /><br />I confess I have been somewhat "over" Chelsea the last few years. I am fed up with the complete fakery of it all. Half the plants in flower should not be blooming this month, they have either been held back or forced on. It gives a totally unrealistic impression of how gardens normally look. I don't think that is a fair or reasonable thing to foist on normal people trying to make their own outdoor spaces pretty and pleasant to use.Bag End Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190496929132717769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-50496929604746973202019-05-23T22:30:31.948+01:002019-05-23T22:30:31.948+01:00We see the Chelsea gardens too rarely here.

I hear there was a garden designed by the young Royals this year.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535765080722557710.post-36214869348522049302019-05-23T20:33:05.127+01:002019-05-23T20:33:05.127+01:00My favourite has got be the first picture, probabl...My favourite has got be the first picture, probably because I always like a bit of water, lol<br />Briony<br />xcrafty cat cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251582085392890533noreply@blogger.com
