Gardens Of Desire

There were so many wonderful sights at the 2012  RHS Hampton Court Flower Show  that I felt it important to give you all a little glimpse of some of the other things that caught my eye. Here are a few more photo's of the gardens and exhibitions and stands. So sit back and enjoy the views ...

I so want this to be my village shop!

Perhaps outside my own house?

This wonderful nostalgic village shop really caught my eye. It was conceived and  built to give life to a local community and as a meeting and working space. Garden fruits and vegetables are sold and some turned into jams and chutneys by, and for, the local community. What a wonderful idea - I want one right here!

This garden was a stunning sight

So calming and special

Isn't it just gorgeous?

I particularly liked the garden called "A Corner Of The World" designed by Clare Olof and Nick Buss. (They can be contacted at  Clare@fwrp.co.uk  and  Nickpb51@hotmail.co.uk ) This lovely garden won a Silver Medal.

It was designed as a sensory room with colour therapy for the needs of autistic children. The space was calm and peaceful and so imaginative with tubes of bubbling liquid dancing throughout the space and reflecting the suble planting. There were areas of visual stimulus and also intense  smells to arouse the interest of the child.  Some wonderful willow wicker work by Judith Needham provided a comfy zone with colourful cushions on which to rest and play. I so loved this garden. Do take a look at more expert photos on the RHS website  here ...

What fun it all was!
