Chelsea

If you can't or chose not to got to Chelsea with its crowds etc, then at least you can enjoy it on line.

Here is the link to the show gardens - a small part of Chelsea. Click on the garden and then explore the show gardens panoramically.

But there is more to see - this is for mouse exploration.

 

Thank you for that Fran as we keep losing our signal here but have certainly enjoyed the last two days ... never watched it before ... another GC thing, me thinks! :rolleyes:

 

Did anyone see the show today i see that woman who designed the garden from mars won a prize cant remember what it was for cos just caught the tail end of the news but it look quite good though

 

Hi SunshineP.Chelsea is on tonight on BBC2 at 8.00pm,so you will be able to watch the results.They said on there last night that the Mars Garden is low maintenence,but with those Cactus they will need protecting through the Winter.I bet it got a Gold Medal.

I hope Chris Beardshaw does well,but I think the Fortum and Mason Garden will get Best in Show,but that is just my opinion

 

It got first prize for something but dont know what for as i said before.

I have noticed on the program that the gardens we think will win dont get a look in and the ones I think look like nothing out of the ordinary win, makes one wonder who the judges are, but thats just my opinion also kandy :eek: :D

 

Kandy did you see she won gold for her garden been watching a bit while on here also

 

Sunshine,I amtrying to watch it an type at the same time.They are showing how these big nurseries churn out millions of plants every year.I wouldn't want the worry of Chelsea.

I missed some of it as I went up to have a quick shower.Becasue I am taping them I can watch it tomorrow.

I think Chris BeardShaw is gorgeous.He is so tiny in real life and softly spoken

 

Wow Orlando Bloom also Gorgeous :D

 

Tut Kandy, you are supposed to watch for the plants :D

 

I just love Chelsea,have been a few times,but not this year,it's great on TV too,you get a different perspective,all of the show gardens look much bigger on TV.......as Alan Titchmarsh said pure gardening theatre..... the gardening olympics.Yes they do throw loads of money at it,yes there are some wild ideas,how the hell do they make a garden look as though it's been there forever?????but it shows what CAN be done,and we can take away new ideas.....roll on to-morrow night another two hours.

 

flying over tomorrow to go to the show for the first time, cant wait. not looking forward to the long queues etc, but have resigned to the fact that its part n parcel.looking forward to chris beardshaws garden too.wonder how the weathers going to behave for the next few days?

Excuse me butting in but I see that you have put your darling little gr-gr-granddaughter up again as your avatar jjordie. She really is sweet and was the gr-gr-grand bit correct???

 

Do you know that garden gnomes are banned from Chelsea because they in bad taste...?
