Chelsea is fantasy land where we can all dream - these gardens need massive budgets, perfect plots, huge construction and unreal planting. They give us ideas, inspiration and appreciation of what we have in our own little plot. Enjoy it for what it is and accept that no ordinary mortal has chelsea perfection. Ours gardens are perfect - because we love them!

Many thanks.
The only interesting woman gardener/presenter I saw, was marvellous! Slightly fat, middle-aged and wearing glasses! She was REAL- (a friend of Alan Titchmarsh) - unfortunately don't know her name. Let's face it, most gardeners are women. Not young pretty young girls, who are extremely irritating and not particularly knowledgeable. This woman WAS.
Can we see more of her, please
I always love Tom Stuart-Smith's designs too, and have several plants in my garden that I only heard about through him. However, how long before that lovely rectangle of water is covered in algae, duckweed, and general detritis - or is there some magic way to prevent this happening?
And weren't those irises in pots in Andy's garden goreous too!
I do not think Chelsea is elitist,anyone can grow plants or vegetables . Following my viewing of the programme I will be building my own compost heap and have just learned how to do it from the website. thanks you Alan Titchmarsh et all for giving me a great weeks highlight of the chelsea flower show.
