Hampton Court Flower Show

A few photos from my afternoon spent at the slightly damp RHS Hampton Court Flower Show. Some lovely show gardens, heaps of grow you own things and more beautiful plants for sale then you could ever carry home...i'll be adding them to my wish list!

Wild in the City designed by Charlotte Murrell featuring planting focused on the importance of urban biodiversity. Although I was excited by many predominantly food growing orientated gardens this was my favourite.

Amazing schools scarecrow competition inspired by Alice in Wonderland. Excellent examples of recycled art and creativity from youngsters!
Gloomy skies but pretty reflections across the long water
Overly perfect lines of veg outside the Grow Your Own tent. Just look how huge those kohl rabi are and lettuces with not one single blemish or bite mark, completely unachievable for the humble gardener!! Well, something to aspire too perhaps.
