The 2008 Royal Chelsea Flower Show!

The Chelsea flower show was absolutely stunning!!!!

Not only did we bump into Dustin Hoffman (he is very orange), but we also got privileged access to the Australian Garden designed by Jamie "get yer gear off" Durie. It was predictably, very different to all the other display gardens! Lots of decking, outdoor dining and naturally typically Oz plantings.


The winning garden was my favourite though. Lots of Peonies roses!!!

The quantity of varieties was TREMENDOUS. Absolutely everything got a look in.


Here are a few of our best.....

Will update our Egypt photos in a few days!!!!


Lots of Love, Lucy and Tom :-)


Yes! That's us!




Aussie Garden.




Aussies in the Aussie garden!!!!





Aussie garden.




A Schoolyard kitchen garden. Another favourite!!! Probably because we've seen it done in many Aussie schools and know how beneficial and worthwhile they are!!!




No glass!




The winning Laurent-Perrier Garden. Pics don't do it justice. It was stunn-oh.











Cool daisy umbrellas.





Does your garden need a human sized Artichoke statue?
