Chelsea was an experience I will not soon forget. Everything was
huge, the tent that held all the inside exhibitors, the paths to follow for the outside
exhibitors, the amount of people there. We were told that the last day of the show had the
least amount of visitors. Wow, what was it like during the rest of the week!!

Resting
Wonder what they are chatting about...
Roses
Oh, the varieties that were there - and this was only one of the many exhibitors that were
showing roses.
Quiet!
You have to whisper when you visit this exhibit, it is so peaceful, you wish you could
find someplace to sit to get away from the 60,000 or so people that were there that day.
Pathway
Leading to? Perhaps a quiet bench or hidden pond.
Garden
Another exhibit of perennials and shrubs.
Jaguar
Yes, that is a real XJ220 covered in silver sedums. (Some people will do anything to
advertise) Actually this was an exhibit from the Birmingham City Council celebrating the
centenary of the British motor industry.
Floral
There were all kinds of floral displays to tempt you (and also make you wonder where you
would put them if you got one).
Eating
Can you believe I ate fish and chips only once and it was here!! Can you guess where I am?
