I was lucky enough to be able to attend again this year. Apart from commercial stands and stalls, all the catering, military bands and other side attractions, the Show comprises two main arenas: the sponsored gardens and the Flower Pavilion. In this short feature, I show some of the sponsored gardens, so far as the milling crowds permitted reasonable shots. These gardens are designed and fabricated on site by national and international gardeners who obtain sponsorship from commercial and other sources. The hoi polloi like myself are not allowed to enter these constructions, but must gawp and gaze from a roped off perimeter.

I'm not very good at growing things, so no bonsai for me!

And it is good that you are smart enough to know that....

My sister has a black thumb, but she loves flowers, and leaves a trail of
dead plants behind her whenever she attempts to grow something...LOL

Agreed about the rhythms of the curves, Sheri - very fine thinking by the designers.

Many Thanks
