RHS Chelsea Show Gardens

You have to take a look at these pics of the show gardens at this years Chelsea. A mix of shock and awe. Here are some that stood out for me. To see pics of the gardens you will have to click the link at the bottom.

DMZ Forbidden Garden - Looks a bit like an overgrown disused concentration camp. Mmm interesting....

Trailfinders Australian Garden - Fair dinkum, but its not exactly the garden of paradise more like Madge off neighbours back garden.

Magical Tower Garden - looking at this 8 storey scaffold tower laden with Silver birch trees and other greenery, it makes you wonder what plants are on the top floor. Far out maaaan! I like it!

The Telegraph Garden - Another garden with Silver Birchs. Look lovely though don't they. It seems like a nice airy and spacious garden with water, attractive natural materials and plenty of plants. A light subtle touch. The designer, doesn't seem to have over egged the pudding.

Rooftop Workplace of Tomorrow Garden - I like parts of this garden. The glass fronted office looks great with the foliage wall, but I don't think much of the great big square raised planting area for a tree with all those big grey pebbles, far too drab and not enough colour.

The World Vision Garden - A really great modern garden with nothing to gimmicky. The water feature looks good and the Tree Ferns look super. I bet this garden is one a lot people say they would like to have as their back garden.
