Chelsea Flower Show 2013

This was my first visit to the RHS show in the grounds of the Chelsea Hospital.
 Here are some of my inpressions of their 100th anniversary show.
There were lots of people and of course lots of flowers and gardens.

There were the big show gardens. This one is the Arthritis Research UK Garden
created by Chris Beardshaw who was diagnosed with a form of Arthritis, when a teenager.

The SeeAbility Garden. Designed to give an impression of the effects of various types of sight loss. Created by Darren Hawkes.

This garden was a load of old rubbish. It was constructed of mostly recycled materials.

The Cancer Research Garden, After The Fire by James Basson. This is a small section of it,
 designed to show how a South of France landscape can regenerate after a forest fire.

Some "gardens" were just flights of fancy.

The local residents were also interested to see what was going on in their grounds.
