I’ve just returned from a visit to England, where I spent last Thursday at the Chelsea Flower Show. I got there early enough that I could see the gardens and Pavilion displays before it became crowded. It was an extraordinary experience for someone who loves flowers and gardens (that’s me). The weather was perfect with sunshine, blue sky and fluffy clouds. Here are some views from the show – there will be many future posts because I took over 300 pictures!
Some scenes from the show:
Burst of color
It’s spring!
Delightful garden
Simply white flowers
So cheerful
A quotation that I noticed in the Great Pavilion.
Meg, how are you!? I’m so happy you were able to visit the Chelsea Flower Show while you were in London. Your photographs are fabulous, and my favorite is the shot you labeled “delightful” I believe that was by Harrods and won the silver medal. Oh how I wish I could have been there!!

Hi Elisa! It was a fantastic experience and you’re right – that picture is the Harrod’s garden! It was so much fun watching the shrubs twirl and the flower boxes going up and down. You should go there sometime… :)
