Right heat for Chelsea

Weather is always a key ingredient at Chelsea, especially after the Winter/Spring that we have experienced.

Exhibitors were expecting the worst when the record temperatures hit us at the start of the week - nets were being draped over gardens to protect the plants from the fierce sun.


For some garden designers, it all got a bit much and Mark Gregory, in particular, sought sanctuary in his water feature - a handy-sized plunge pool in the Children's Society Garden.


Thankfully, things have cooled down a bit and the gardens and exhibits look an absolute picture with the majority of the flowers none the worse for wear.

Saves everyone's modesty...
