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!

| 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.
