:00:14. > :00:18.They say some things improve with age. Well, it's 99 years since the
:00:18. > :00:23.first courageous Chelsea Flower Show wild the crowds. And just like
:00:23. > :00:26.vintage port, it continues to get better and better. Tonight, we are
:00:26. > :00:30.launching a week-long celebration of all things horticultural. I'll
:00:30. > :00:34.be here every evening on BBC Two for all the news and gardening
:00:34. > :00:40.gossip. I'll be joined by a host of familiar faces. We are beginning
:00:40. > :00:46.right now. Coming up... Under control. The gardens adding a touch
:00:46. > :00:51.of formality to Chelsea this year. The art of gardening. Designer Andy
:00:51. > :00:54.Sturgeon tells us how the Arts and Crafts movement inspired his garden.
:00:54. > :00:58.The garden I'm doing at Chelsea is not an Arts and Crafts garden,
:00:59. > :01:04.which might seem odd when it's totally inspired by gardens from
:01:04. > :01:09.that movement. Passionate plantsman. The French nurserymen Richard
:01:09. > :01:19.Cayeux shares his family's love affair with the Iris. I was born in
:01:19. > :01:22.
:01:22. > :01:25.Good evening and welcome to the 2012 RHS Chelsea Flower Show,
:01:25. > :01:28.supported by M&G Investments. The week has only just begun and it's
:01:28. > :01:34.already attracting headlines. Mainly because the sun is coming
:01:34. > :01:41.out. Can you believe it? After yesterday, we were freezing
:01:41. > :01:46.yesterday. Standby, my best is coming up tomorrow! People think we
:01:46. > :01:49.forget that as well as gardens here, which we talk about a lot on that
:01:49. > :01:54.Thursday because they are ready and the Great Pavilion isn't ready,
:01:54. > :01:59.this is about flowers. Absolutely. I've just been in there. The first
:01:59. > :02:03.thing that strikes you on Monday, everything is fresh so the perfume
:02:03. > :02:08.in there is wondrous. I've just looked through the Roses, which you
:02:08. > :02:13.know I like. Lovely. A lots of old fashioned ones this year. Yes, but
:02:13. > :02:18.some new varieties as well, lots with a Jubilee theme. You can plant
:02:18. > :02:23.a patriotic plant. Sweet peas out in force in there. This wonderful
:02:23. > :02:30.fragrance. Simon Lycett made as this wonderful arrangement in a
:02:30. > :02:35.teapot. Sweet peas mixed with green mint. They look and smell divine.
:02:35. > :02:40.Sir simple. It's back freshness. I quite like the teapot as well.
:02:40. > :02:48.Carol Klein has had a sweet pea named after her. Has she? Taking
:02:48. > :02:56.after you. Mine was named in 1886 I nearly said! 1986. It is still in
:02:56. > :03:03.there. It is very coral. Coral pink. Soft pink with a frilly edge and a
:03:03. > :03:10.delicate scent, and the sweet pea is not bad either! But seeing
:03:10. > :03:16.things like that every year here, it's a shot in the arm. The gardens
:03:16. > :03:20.out there. When you said last night that you are feeling quite
:03:20. > :03:24.emotional about it, I felt almost Deary about his garden. It is so
:03:24. > :03:30.beautiful. We've been teasing him for years, come on, Joe, time to
:03:30. > :03:35.put your money where your mouth is an Dewlay garden. It's fantastic.
:03:35. > :03:40.never predict gold medals but... Fingers crossed, it is good. There
:03:40. > :03:48.is more than a hint of formality about this year's event. Clipped
:03:48. > :03:51.topiary and geometric designs are involved. Rachel and I have been
:03:51. > :04:01.spanning the centuries, starting with the ancient walled gardens of
:04:01. > :04:04.
:04:04. > :04:09.A paradise gardens of Persia, emphasised the preciousness of
:04:09. > :04:15.water. That is what Nigel has done here on the Royal Bank of Callender
:04:15. > :04:20.garden, which is based on a Persian paradise garden. It is building at
:04:20. > :04:27.the end was inspired by those little houses you find in Italy. If
:04:27. > :04:31.you look up inside, you will see Andrew Loudon's handiwork. The most
:04:31. > :04:35.wonderful dry stone roof, which is rather like an egg made entirely of
:04:35. > :04:40.pieces of sandstone. Out here, the paving is much more smoothly.
:04:40. > :04:44.There's a practical angle to this, as you would expect from Nigel, a
:04:44. > :04:47.man who has been involved in the design for the Olympic Park in Lee
:04:47. > :04:53.Valley. All of these beds and plantings allow water to drain
:04:53. > :04:59.through them and into these canals. They are part of the purification
:04:59. > :05:02.process and of retaining water, it is a precious commodity. The
:05:02. > :05:11.planting is interesting. Grace's mixed in with perennials, but also
:05:11. > :05:17.with lilies. We are talking about Lilian in all its forms. Down the
:05:17. > :05:22.end of the dusky pink variety. Over here, the wide variety. Just in
:05:22. > :05:26.front of me, bright orange lilies, which contrast markedly with the
:05:26. > :05:30.turquoise bottom of the pond and the water. I looked at this and
:05:30. > :05:34.thought, who won earth would put together orange and turquoise? Then
:05:34. > :05:38.I remembered, if you will forgive the name-dropping, that when I last
:05:38. > :05:48.interviewed Claudia Schiffer or she was wearing an orange jumper and a
:05:48. > :05:49.
:05:49. > :05:55.turquoise jacket. It is the Claudia This is a little slice of heaven.
:05:55. > :05:59.It is the Arthritis Research UK garden, designed by Tom Hoblyn. He
:05:59. > :06:08.took his inspiration from the Italian Renaissance gardens, places
:06:08. > :06:12.like Villa D'Este teeth. He has used stone from Tivoli. Here, it is
:06:12. > :06:18.rough-hewn and masculine. Then it is move along these walls and along
:06:18. > :06:24.the bench. The planting is so beautiful. It is very much designed
:06:24. > :06:29.to cope with those arid conditions, so you've got things that are still
:06:29. > :06:34.believed, Salvias, which Cup very well with drought conditions. There
:06:34. > :06:40.are pinpricks of colour. You have the bright red from the poppy,
:06:40. > :06:44.which really sings. At the back, that focal point of those five
:06:44. > :06:49.cypress trees. They are balanced just on the other side by the cork
:06:49. > :06:54.oak. Exquisite. But this is also a garden about water. You have three
:06:54. > :06:59.different forms. The lovely, still pool with the stepping-stones.
:06:59. > :07:05.You've got the cascade at the back. Best of all, just look at this
:07:05. > :07:11.water chute, just leaping across that box hedge. They just pop
:07:11. > :07:16.through, those jets of water, in the back of the seating. They are
:07:16. > :07:26.eliminated, so at night they really shine. It is a fabulous garden to
:07:26. > :07:27.
:07:27. > :07:31.look at, it's even better to stand Brewin Dolphin were founder members
:07:31. > :07:36.of the London Stock Exchange 250 years ago. They have commissioned
:07:36. > :07:41.Cleve West to reflect their history in a garden. It begins with the
:07:41. > :07:46.ancient, is very old wellhead, certainly older than 250 years, but
:07:46. > :07:50.it mixes ancient with modern. He has since this will head on cobbles
:07:50. > :07:54.in this forecourt with eight Pollard at Lime Tree. Again, a good,
:07:54. > :07:58.old-fashioned touch. But as we move forward we get a touch more modern.
:07:58. > :08:03.Cleave says this garden is geometrical but not symmetrical. It
:08:03. > :08:07.seems to me to mix all kinds of periods, which have been covered in
:08:07. > :08:11.at 250 years. We come to a sunken area in the centre which has at
:08:11. > :08:16.each corner of the most magnificent topiary specimens on this Chelsea
:08:16. > :08:22.side this year. These are like gigantic chessmen erupting among
:08:22. > :08:26.beds of border perennials. Then become tutu macro very formal and
:08:26. > :08:31.old-fashioned Gade peers. Sitting atop them are flaming stone
:08:31. > :08:36.Deiniol's with this wonderful, rusted, ornate gate in the centre.
:08:36. > :08:40.But there's a modern touch here. Look down at the foot of the
:08:40. > :08:46.gatepost and you have this wonderful little time all getting
:08:46. > :08:56.out, depositing water into the wells that run down either side of
:08:56. > :09:02.this path. They seem to be big Chelsea 2012 signature. These are
:09:02. > :09:07.made of wonderful, Corbould sets. It is a wonderful mixture of 250
:09:07. > :09:11.years of old and new. Cleve West is over on the red button, explaining
:09:11. > :09:16.why and how he breaks the rules. You can switch-over immediately
:09:16. > :09:21.after this programme. Juxtaposing the exquisite formality of designs
:09:21. > :09:24.likely West's and Tom's, is a garden that takes its inspiration
:09:25. > :09:29.from the creativity of the late 19th century Arts and Crafts
:09:29. > :09:31.movement. Andy Sturgeon has chosen a style of gardening that
:09:31. > :09:37.effortlessly mixes perennial planting that the art of the
:09:37. > :09:47.craftsmen. One garden that reflects this style is Rodmarton Manor in
:09:47. > :09:56.
:09:56. > :10:00.Cirencester, which Andy visited Rodmarton Manor in Gloucestershire
:10:00. > :10:05.is a great example of an Arts and Crafts house and garden. The reason
:10:05. > :10:08.that I've come here is because although I have always considered
:10:08. > :10:12.myself as a modernist garden designer, I've come to realise
:10:12. > :10:22.recently that in fact, the principles I used for garden design
:10:22. > :10:23.
:10:23. > :10:29.of very much rooted in the arts and The Arts and Crafts movement really
:10:29. > :10:32.began about 150 years ago. The whole philosophy behind it was that
:10:32. > :10:39.it was a reaction against industrialisation and mass produced
:10:39. > :10:49.good. It was really a celebration and a return to skills. As it says,
:10:49. > :10:52.
:10:52. > :10:57.The main elements of the movement were architecture, interior design,
:10:57. > :11:01.jewellery, even furniture and, of course, gardens. In this garden,
:11:01. > :11:05.which is very typical, you have a series of garden rooms around the
:11:05. > :11:10.house, and those rooms are framed by walls and clipped hedges. A lot
:11:10. > :11:14.of the formality, that is close to the house. Then, as you move away
:11:14. > :11:17.from the house, that formality slowly bleeds into informality and
:11:18. > :11:27.becomes much more natural. Then eventually it connects with the
:11:28. > :11:31.
:11:31. > :11:35.The garden I'm doing at Chelsea is not an Arts and Crafts garden,
:11:35. > :11:40.which might seem awed when it's totally inspired by gardens from
:11:40. > :11:45.that movement. But what I've done is try to look underneath the
:11:45. > :11:48.surface elements and look at what the ethos is and will also be his
:11:48. > :11:52.and the main elements. Then take those and interpret them in a more
:11:52. > :11:56.contemporary way. Because the Arts and Crafts movement was new and
:11:56. > :12:06.innovative, and I want my garden to be new and innovative. But it just
:12:06. > :12:19.
:12:19. > :12:24.This is a common theme for the gardens, where you go from one room
:12:24. > :12:28.to another. You actually come through a kind of doorway. It's an
:12:28. > :12:33.idea I'd really like to use. Here you have this hedge. I'm going to
:12:33. > :12:38.put it into a stone wall. But I'm going to try and capture this sense
:12:38. > :12:48.of a vista that leads down the doorway, but you is framed and you
:12:48. > :12:51.
:12:51. > :12:55.have a focal point at the end. -- When you look closely at this house
:12:55. > :13:00.and garden you see some interesting details. This house was built using
:13:00. > :13:04.local masons, local blacksmiths, local Carpenters. This stone was
:13:04. > :13:09.quarried locally. These oak trees were taken out of the forests
:13:09. > :13:13.locally off the estate. Using local materials and local craftsmen, that
:13:13. > :13:23.was a big part of the movement. But it's also really important to me,
:13:23. > :13:27.
:13:27. > :13:31.to keep those skills alive and use On all planting schemes, I really
:13:31. > :13:35.like to get a strong contrast between some of the foliage
:13:35. > :13:40.elements of some of the leaves. Here you have a strong one. You
:13:40. > :13:44.have the clipped topiary and it is set amongst all this wild,
:13:44. > :13:48.naturalistic planting. It is something I really love. The main
:13:48. > :13:53.components of the Chelsea Garden of formal Italianate terrace in which
:13:53. > :13:56.step down to a rectangular for more pond. I've celebrated the
:13:56. > :14:02.architecture by putting in these monolithic walls. They are made of
:14:02. > :14:06.stone. They also have the kind of idea of the garden rooms formed by
:14:07. > :14:11.hedges that were quite typical. What is interesting about gardens
:14:11. > :14:15.like this is although I'm a huge fan of modern architecture, modern
:14:15. > :14:18.art and design and all those sorts of things, when I come to these
:14:19. > :14:24.types of gardens, more traditional, they always have a very familiar
:14:24. > :14:30.feeling, they are comfortable, cosy. I love them. I always wonder
:14:31. > :14:36.whether rendering the wrong thing! -- whether I'm doing the wrong
:14:36. > :14:42.thing! And this is what it became. Are you happy? Very happy. Happy
:14:42. > :14:46.it's finished. What I do love are the steps going down to this great,
:14:46. > :14:50.long a lake. Timing in this arts and crafts, has it been a pressure
:14:50. > :14:55.doing the garden? Do something like that become a millstone around your
:14:55. > :14:58.neck? No, and if it does I think it means it's a bad idea. It worked
:14:58. > :15:03.really well here because as I thought of each thing, it fitted in
:15:03. > :15:08.really well. It was a natural fit. I knew I was on to something.
:15:08. > :15:13.might be based on something that's a hundred and 50 years old but it's
:15:13. > :15:15.incredibly modern. This wall, for instance, what is the arts and
:15:15. > :15:20.crafts reference there? Arts and crafts was innovative in its day,
:15:20. > :15:24.so that is important, but the war, everyone knows about William Morris
:15:24. > :15:27.wallpapers, that's probably one of the most famous things that came
:15:27. > :15:31.out of the movement, with repeated patterns that were inspired by
:15:32. > :15:36.nature. Those circles echo the shades of some of the flowers.
:15:36. > :15:39.Things like peonies and lilies were in the wallpaper. That is how I
:15:39. > :15:44.have reflected it. What a lot of people, including myself, are
:15:44. > :15:50.baffled about is, where do you go to find something like this? You've
:15:50. > :15:55.made these holes. Where do you source all of this? You find good
:15:55. > :16:00.people. Again, it's part of the Arts and Crafts movement. It was
:16:00. > :16:03.using traditional craftsmanship. We have hand-picked, still make --
:16:03. > :16:07.stonemasons have done the edge. The same quarry has done the highly-
:16:07. > :16:15.skilled drilling of the stone. come past the terrors into this Ali
:16:15. > :16:19.way. -- Terrace into this Ali way. You have planted all the way down
:16:19. > :16:24.the sides. The planting is very Andy Sturgeon. We are getting that
:16:24. > :16:29.reflection you were talking about, with these domes surrounded by the
:16:29. > :16:36.fluffy planting. That is right. It's important to have some element
:16:36. > :16:42.of formality. I've put these stones, that holds the whole thing together.
:16:42. > :16:52.It allows me to have this almost naturalistic planting that floats
:16:52. > :16:54.
:16:54. > :17:00.Then you have these in the water. These are a great talking-point.
:17:00. > :17:05.People say "oh, look at those." Whenever they use the word "brave"
:17:06. > :17:10.it gets me worry. This comes from jewellery. It is an arts and craft
:17:10. > :17:13.thing. Although this is big scale, I wanted it to be finely worked and
:17:13. > :17:20.elegant, like a piece of jewellery and the material, copper, again
:17:20. > :17:24.arts and crafts. Of course you have got in here irises. They are
:17:24. > :17:28.obviously quite important. Well, you need those pin-points of colour.
:17:28. > :17:31.Without things like that it could just be a blur. You need things
:17:31. > :17:40.that will take your eye and focus on before it drifts on to something
:17:40. > :17:46.else. A garden inspired by the Arts and
:17:46. > :17:53.Crafts Movement would not be complete without irises. Iris was
:17:53. > :17:59.the rainbow goddess in Greek mythology. It captured the heart of
:17:59. > :18:05.one French family 120 years ago. Today Cayeux Irises captivate
:18:05. > :18:15.visitors. It is out in their 55- acre nursery that the Cayeux's true
:18:15. > :18:16.
:18:16. > :18:21.love affair with the flower becomes apparent.
:18:21. > :18:27.I am Richard Cayeux. I am the fourth generation of the Cayeux
:18:27. > :18:37.family to grow, create new irises. I was born in an iris field,
:18:37. > :18:42.
:18:42. > :18:48.perhaps. It is one of the first to flower in
:18:48. > :18:53.spring. It is like an explosion of colour. You must know what they
:18:53. > :19:03.need - they need full sun to flower well. They need excellent drainage.
:19:03. > :19:11.You must plant them during the summer. That's all that they need.
:19:11. > :19:18.The bearded irises, there are four different types. The miniature, the
:19:18. > :19:25.standard dwarfs and the tall ones. The miniature dwarfs, they are
:19:25. > :19:29.starting to flower mid-March. Then we can also have some late bloomers,
:19:29. > :19:39.in the beginning of June, with the tall bearded. With the different
:19:39. > :19:44.
:19:44. > :19:54.types of irises, we can have two This iris is an intermediate. The
:19:54. > :19:55.
:19:55. > :20:02.name is Vitraille. It has almost all the qualities of a good
:20:02. > :20:09.intermediate. That's to say good branching, with a quite low branch
:20:09. > :20:14.on the stem. 24 iris is called orageux. Like a
:20:14. > :20:20.stormy weather. And the contrast is amazing. It's quite hard to combine
:20:20. > :20:26.yellow or white standards with black falls. It's not a very good
:20:26. > :20:36.stem, we a only four buds. But the colour is so interesting. I will
:20:36. > :20:37.
:20:37. > :20:45.keep this variety a long time in my fields.
:20:45. > :20:49.The main character of Cayeux is to create new varieties. I want to get
:20:50. > :20:53.a paler blue intermediate. So this one is a true blue and I will use
:20:53. > :21:03.the pollen of this one and bring it to a white one.
:21:03. > :21:04.
:21:04. > :21:14.So, you take the stay men, usually I take several stay -- stamen,
:21:14. > :21:15.
:21:15. > :21:25.usually I take several stamen. Then I walk it to the white one.
:21:25. > :21:26.
:21:26. > :21:32.I select a fresh flower. First of all I take this and then I put the
:21:32. > :21:38.pollen on to the female part of the flower. We do what the bumblebee
:21:38. > :21:42.should do. Going down to the ovary and the pollination is happening in
:21:43. > :21:47.this side. We sow the seeds in October and two, three or four
:21:47. > :21:54.years after the cross, we have the first flower.
:21:54. > :22:04.We must be perfectionists. All the colours must be perfect. We keep
:22:04. > :22:04.
:22:04. > :22:12.only 15 plants for 1,000. We have decided for Chelsea to
:22:12. > :22:16.present a large range of colours to show. We ship the plants to England,
:22:16. > :22:25.one year before the Chelsea show, because when the irises are
:22:25. > :22:30.flowering, it's very difficult to move them and I prefer they grow in
:22:30. > :22:37.the English climate before Chelsea. The first year, we have got the
:22:37. > :22:47.Silver Medal, and then we have got three Silver-Gilt Medals. Now we
:22:47. > :22:55.
:22:55. > :22:58.would be very happy to get the Gold Well the Cayeux stand is looking
:22:58. > :23:02.stunning. Absolutely wonderful, Richard. You are in charge of the
:23:02. > :23:07.British end of the operation, aren't you? Yes. I am. What is your
:23:07. > :23:11.role? Richard sends the plants to me in August. Maybe early September.
:23:11. > :23:19.We pot them up and grow them on and then bring them up to the show in
:23:19. > :23:24.May. Sound very easy, dun't it? do you do -- doesn't it? Why do you
:23:24. > :23:33.not just pot them up and bring them from France? It is too difficult to
:23:33. > :23:39.bring the plants from France. your -- is your weather different?
:23:39. > :23:44.It is a little bit warmer, but not much this year. So I prefer the
:23:44. > :23:48.plants to be grown with Sue and she's doing that very well. It is
:23:48. > :23:51.almost a terrible responsibility you have. Do you find it stressful?
:23:51. > :23:56.The last month I do, yes. It's getting the timings right.
:23:56. > :24:01.Obviously we have to try and get as many in flower as we can for today.
:24:01. > :24:05.So, it's about moving them, keeping them warm, keeping them cool if
:24:05. > :24:12.they are coming on too much. Additional lighting sometimes.
:24:12. > :24:18.That's no mean feat. Because you have pure irises and intermediate
:24:18. > :24:28.and tall they all come into flower at different times. Is there any
:24:28. > :24:28.
:24:28. > :24:33.for you which is the favourite. for me Dame de Cour.
:24:33. > :24:41.for me Dame de Cour. It is beautiful. I do like that too.
:24:41. > :24:46.For me, the best ones this year are Piste Noir.
:24:46. > :24:53.Absolutely stunning. Thank you very much. Thank you.
:24:53. > :24:57.Monday is the day when a host of celebritys can be spotted. As
:24:57. > :25:07.always, we have been out and about asking their views on this year's
:25:07. > :25:08.
:25:08. > :25:12.I love the Chelsea Flower Show. This is a particularly fantastic
:25:12. > :25:18.one. I saw it on television last night. It looks great. Yeah. I am
:25:18. > :25:22.going to look at it, instead of talking to journlys. You are late!
:25:22. > :25:26.This not a premier. organisation is fascinating and the
:25:26. > :25:31.fact they come 20 days before and make things look like they have
:25:31. > :25:39.been here for 60 years. It's absolutely brilliant. For me the
:25:39. > :25:42.thing about gardening is about the long term. It is the opposite to
:25:42. > :25:47.get-rich-quick society. It is about things which take investment and
:25:47. > :25:56.patience and time and those are the things that are the most rewarding
:25:56. > :25:59.things you can possibly hope for. It looks like Trumpton has gone
:25:59. > :26:03.crazy. Something to do with Diarmuid Gavin. They are all
:26:03. > :26:10.pensioners. I have no idea what it is, it is typical of Chelsea Flower
:26:10. > :26:17.Show. I have a garden andvy a team of about 28 staff. That's not true!
:26:17. > :26:25.Not true. I just let it grow. vegetarian we grow 75% of our own
:26:25. > :26:30.food and thes a paragus were great. I have got to a stage where I
:26:30. > :26:34.notice trees, I love trees. I can stop and look at a tree and it's
:26:35. > :26:40.just a beautiful thing. I think what I like most about it
:26:40. > :26:44.is it seems to be made of off-cuts, which I love. Everybody in England
:26:44. > :26:49.loves gardening. Loves flowers. There's nothing like it really.
:26:49. > :26:53.It's just an institution. I love gardening and anything to do with
:26:53. > :27:01.gardening. Anything to do with Alan Titchmarsh, who is like the patron
:27:01. > :27:05.saint of gardening. Well, celebrities have been
:27:05. > :27:08.supporting the RHS Campaign for School Gardening, which is
:27:08. > :27:14.encouraging primary schools to build gardens. There are 15,000 of
:27:14. > :27:24.them now. They have painted lovely pots. This is a work of art!
:27:24. > :27:32.That is really. Vy a couple here to show you. See these, who are they?
:27:32. > :27:35.I don't recognise either. This is Cleve and that is Joe. Would you
:27:35. > :27:45.let either of those characters into your garden? Talking of characters
:27:45. > :27:48.
:27:48. > :27:58.- look at these. This one is from Downton Abbey. Now what have you
:27:58. > :27:59.
:27:59. > :28:08.done?Vy Done very predictably.... So this is a rose by Rachel de
:28:08. > :28:13.Thame. And yours? I am a sucker for Wind In The Willows. All these can
:28:13. > :28:17.be bought online. They are auctioning them all in aid of the
:28:17. > :28:24.RHS campaign. If you go to the website you can bid for these up to
:28:24. > :28:29.next Sunday. That is where they will be. There is Ricky Gervais,
:28:29. > :28:37.all sort of people. I have never had a Chelsea bun on the show
:28:37. > :28:45.before. Are they buns or cupcakes? Well, they are squeezey cupcakes.
:28:45. > :28:48.There is a story behind these - garden centres pull the market, but
:28:48. > :28:52.there are specialist nurseries all over the country which need our
:28:52. > :28:56.support. I try and go as often as I can. These are being sold in aid of
:28:57. > :29:00.the nurseries - support your local British nursery. If you buy a
:29:00. > :29:06.knitted Chelsea bun, you are supporting them. And support them
:29:06. > :29:11.by going there and buying plants. That is the main thing. If you buy
:29:11. > :29:15.in bulk and buy in a garden centre, it's a good place to go, but the
:29:15. > :29:18.specialist nurseries glow a particular group of plants which
:29:18. > :29:23.nobody else will grow. Don't use them, lose them. That is the
:29:23. > :29:28.message. -- if you don't use them you will
:29:28. > :29:33.lose them. That is the message. Still to come:
:29:33. > :29:40.Welcome strangers, we are getting to know the new floral arrivals in
:29:40. > :29:44.this year's Great Pavilion. A novel approach to designing using
:29:44. > :29:48.Victorian literature. Three of the great loves of my life
:29:48. > :29:52.are Yorkshire, gardening and literature.
:29:52. > :29:57.Code green - the garden using technology to get its message
:29:57. > :30:06.across. 99 years after its inception, this is the Chelsea
:30:06. > :30:12.Flower Show embracing technology It is the day went gargling
:30:12. > :30:21.journalists are allowed a sneak look at the show. I caught up with
:30:21. > :30:26.Bruce Forsyth earlier. Sir Bruce, is it true that Forsyth was named
:30:26. > :30:34.after your great, great something grandfather? It's never been
:30:34. > :30:39.completely proven. I think there's something in it. My great
:30:39. > :30:44.grandfather, Joseph Forsyth Johnson, was a very famous landscape
:30:44. > :30:49.gardener. And the forsythia, the Charles one, that was all about the
:30:49. > :30:55.same time. I don't know whether it was his love child or what, but
:30:55. > :31:03.something definitely went on. Alan Titchmarsh, what are you doing at
:31:03. > :31:07.the Chelsea Flower Show? Who is the garden at home? I think I am. I've
:31:07. > :31:12.really fallen in love with the English garden. When I wasn't
:31:12. > :31:16.Puerto Rico, I couldn't really wait to see it. As soon as I moved to
:31:16. > :31:21.England, I planted a lot of roses. I think they are absolutely
:31:21. > :31:27.incredible. I see you here most years going around and looking and
:31:27. > :31:34.pointing. Bruce, does she come home with lists? I get so many ideas.
:31:35. > :31:38.She's got great taste. Not only in men! She's got great taste in
:31:38. > :31:46.seeing things, how they look and putting them together. She's very
:31:46. > :31:50.artistic. She can paint. I don't mean the ceiling! She can do
:31:50. > :31:57.sculpture. She learns all these things. She could be an interior
:31:57. > :32:02.designer. With flowers, yes, that would look... Specially cut flowers
:32:02. > :32:06.and arranging. You see, you on a golfer. Do you notice the
:32:06. > :32:12.rhododendrons? At Augusta is my favourite golf course because of
:32:12. > :32:15.the rhododendrons. Normally at this time of the year, all the
:32:15. > :32:24.rhododendron start macro there's hardly any. I live by the first
:32:24. > :32:28.fairway. I don't do any gardening. I love to see it. That is my
:32:28. > :32:32.hereditary, wonderful, famous man who was a landscape gardener. I
:32:33. > :32:37.love to look at it. Even on the golf course, the shape of
:32:37. > :32:44.landscaping, I'm very interested in that. The don't do any digging on
:32:44. > :32:51.the golf course? He does! If she wants a ditch done, half-an-hour it
:32:51. > :32:54.will take me to do a ditch. Lovely to talk to you. Chelsea has always
:32:55. > :32:59.provided the perfect platform for growers to proudly unveiled their
:32:59. > :33:03.brand new plants. In the past 10 years, over 600 have stepped into
:33:03. > :33:07.the spotlight. All you passionate plant lovers waiting with bated
:33:07. > :33:14.breath for this year's exciting new arrivals, here is Carol Klein with
:33:14. > :33:18.her own guide to the floor debutants of 2012. -- floral
:33:18. > :33:21.debutants. Every year when I come into the Great Pavilion it is a
:33:21. > :33:25.thrill. You see lots of things which you are used to but the monks
:33:25. > :33:33.to them are sprinkled these absolute treats, brand new things
:33:33. > :33:38.which have never seen before. This is such a beauty. On Thorneycroft's
:33:38. > :33:43.clematis stand. It's a brand new introduction from Japan. It was
:33:43. > :33:48.developed for the cut flower trade. Strange how our culture is very,
:33:48. > :33:55.isn't it? We would never think of cutting clematis or indoors. It's
:33:55. > :34:01.got this marvellous trade. The flowers open, his big, single one
:34:01. > :34:06.settles. Later on, they develop all these separate pieces. Eventually
:34:06. > :34:16.these PETA Lloyd bits fall to the ground. So the whole flower goes
:34:16. > :34:23.
:34:23. > :34:29.full circle, giving you a really The perfume from this is just...
:34:29. > :34:32.It's beautiful! It is so light and delicate. You don't expect to
:34:32. > :34:42.encounter a sweet smelling streptocarpus. But that is exactly
:34:42. > :34:49.
:34:49. > :34:54.It is a sweet sweet. It really is. Lane, one of the Diddley crew, has
:34:54. > :35:00.hybridised this between a single lift species that has got cent and
:35:00. > :35:10.a normal hybrid. I think this is a plant with a great future. What's
:35:10. > :35:15.
:35:15. > :35:21.more, the single simplicity of This is one of the best sounds I've
:35:21. > :35:28.seen a. Many of these hybrids have visited Chelsea before. But this
:35:28. > :35:34.one, cream tea, is making its debut. It's an Oriental trumpet. It loves
:35:34. > :35:39.Sunshine. Don't grow it in the shade because it will get long and
:35:39. > :35:43.attenuated. It has these simple, elegant flowers. It was bred in the
:35:43. > :35:48.first place for the cut flower trade. They rejected it because its
:35:48. > :35:58.flowers didn't face upwards enough. Well, for me, lily flowers
:35:58. > :36:01.
:36:01. > :36:06.shouldn't stand up anyway. Their This is in the main A Bloomer. But
:36:06. > :36:12.his lovely new hybrid is a particularly soft and scintillate
:36:12. > :36:18.Inc sort of blue. It was bred by the nursery, Hoyland plants.
:36:18. > :36:22.Although Bano that - not what the mother was, it's got an unknown
:36:22. > :36:29.father. Whatever its parentage, they've produced a really beautiful
:36:30. > :36:35.child. It looks at its best at twilight, just as dusk is
:36:35. > :36:40.descending, when it really blows. So far, it's been Hardy to-nine in
:36:40. > :36:45.Yorkshire, so it's going to be quite a tough one. It's the sort of
:36:45. > :36:55.plant that I'd love to put into my Borders. In fact, all the plants
:36:55. > :36:58.
:36:58. > :37:03.we've seen today are very, very While the nurseries proudly
:37:03. > :37:06.unveiled their perfect plants, the small, Artisan Gardens on the other
:37:06. > :37:10.side of the hospital grounds have answered the call of the wild. Some
:37:10. > :37:14.of the gardens this year are reflecting the best of Britain's
:37:14. > :37:20.and tamed landscapes. The welcome to Yorkshire garden is one of these.
:37:20. > :37:25.Designer Tracy Foster has looked to Victorian novelists Charlotte,
:37:25. > :37:29.Emily and Anne Bronte for her inspiration. It was then area that
:37:29. > :37:33.allowed them to escape from the restricting conventions of 19
:37:33. > :37:36.century society, Yorkshire. So we travelled to Bronte country, to
:37:36. > :37:46.find out from Tracey how she intended to capture the spirit of
:37:46. > :37:52.
:37:52. > :37:57.I would say three of the great loves of my life on Yorker,
:37:57. > :38:07.gardening and literature. So I'm really excited to be able to
:38:07. > :38:11.
:38:11. > :38:14.produce a garden at Chelsea based The Brontes lived in Howath, which
:38:14. > :38:19.has over in that direction, probably about two-and-a-half miles
:38:19. > :38:24.from here. They lived in the Parsonage, which is now the Bronte
:38:24. > :38:30.Parsonage Museum. When I come up here I feel a real sense of how
:38:30. > :38:34.wild it is. It is incredibly beautiful scenery. But at the same
:38:34. > :38:38.time it is very bleak and there is a kind of tension between that
:38:38. > :38:42.beauty and bleakness. I think it was very special to them. I think
:38:42. > :38:45.this was their escape. I think life in Howath must have been very
:38:45. > :38:55.difficult. I think this was where they came for their freedom and to
:38:55. > :38:57.
:38:57. > :39:01.There isn't just the literature that the family have left, there's
:39:01. > :39:05.a legacy of all sorts of other things and that includes the
:39:05. > :39:08.paintings they did. They were quite accomplished painters. They did
:39:08. > :39:16.studies of all sorts of things, including botanical studies which
:39:16. > :39:21.have been immensely useful. This is a painting that Charlotte did of a
:39:21. > :39:28.pansy. I am hoping that I'm going to be able to include this in the
:39:28. > :39:33.garden at Chelsea. It shows really that, as well as observing the
:39:33. > :39:37.landscape, Charlotte has honed in on the detail. I would really love
:39:37. > :39:42.to have a wild rose in the garden because it is a garden for
:39:42. > :39:45.Yorkshire. I have my fingers crossed and I'm really hoping that
:39:45. > :39:51.the wild white those that I have on order will be ready in time for the
:39:51. > :39:56.show. -- Wild White rose. This bonnet belonged to Charlotte. She
:39:56. > :40:01.would have worn this possibly when she went out walking. I'm having a
:40:01. > :40:05.replica made to use in the garden. What am hoping to do is to lay the
:40:05. > :40:09.bonnet on a rock in the garden, just to hint that Charlotte could
:40:09. > :40:13.be there and that may be she has stood up and gone off to have a
:40:13. > :40:17.closer look at some flowers or a little look around. I've also
:40:17. > :40:21.selected some books to indicate the sort of books that the girls would
:40:21. > :40:25.have read. I've picked out two volumes along with a pair of
:40:25. > :40:33.Victorian spectacles of the type very similar to the ones Charlotte
:40:33. > :40:38.would have worn. There may be no flowers out at this time of the
:40:38. > :40:44.year but it is still absolutely stunning scenery. It has a certain
:40:44. > :40:48.magic. It is the sort of place where the vegetation that makes it
:40:48. > :40:52.up gives it not just its rugged looks but gives it a certain smell,
:40:52. > :40:57.a certain field, the way it feels when you walk on it in your boots
:40:57. > :41:01.is completely unique to this place. On here, here is an example of one
:41:01. > :41:07.of the different types of mosque appear. There are so many different
:41:07. > :41:11.types. This one is beautiful. I call it * Moss, I don't know what
:41:11. > :41:21.it's real name is. It is fresh and green, just one of the many
:41:21. > :41:24.
:41:24. > :41:27.These days, I'm getting so close to the landscape, I've been
:41:27. > :41:31.photographing things and people have been asking me what on earth
:41:31. > :41:34.I'm doing. But it's that level of detail that I'm looking for. Coming
:41:34. > :41:39.here again and again is helping me to soak that up and get that
:41:39. > :41:49.feeling, so that hopefully when I'm at Chelsea and going to be able to
:41:49. > :41:54.
:41:54. > :41:58.Tracey, youths made it. Yes, I'm here and I've built it. Everything
:41:59. > :42:03.went really well. I'm really pleased with it. That is half the
:42:03. > :42:08.battle. It does look incredibly natural. That is what you were
:42:08. > :42:12.aiming to do. I was aiming to get it natural. I wanted it to have a
:42:12. > :42:16.hint of wildness that is present on the moorland around Howath. I
:42:16. > :42:20.wanted it to show how pretty Yorkshire is as well. It was kind
:42:20. > :42:25.of trying to find the right balance between the pretty and the wild and
:42:25. > :42:29.bleak. Now the sun is shining and the hawthorn and the Campion are
:42:29. > :42:33.out, the garden looks really Clement. But I was here on Saturday
:42:33. > :42:37.when it was cold and damp. It had a real feeling of menace about it.
:42:37. > :42:43.It's a bit of a muti garden, a little bit like the landscape up
:42:43. > :42:49.there. It seems to have picked up that moodiness, which is brilliant.
:42:49. > :42:56.The atmosphere in the garden is very much dependent on the weather.
:42:56. > :43:00.It is beautifully planted. I see that the Heartsease made it. That
:43:00. > :43:03.was an important plant. Some things did get left out but many things
:43:03. > :43:08.made it into the garden, including the books and glasses that we
:43:08. > :43:13.looked at before. The cotton grass, it is nodding away by the babbling
:43:13. > :43:19.stream. I'm pleased to have the cotton grass. It has been growing
:43:19. > :43:23.in my greenhouse since February, trying to get it to do some seeding.
:43:23. > :43:27.The window, it overlooks it and gives a feeling that is quite
:43:27. > :43:32.uncomfortable. The window is a little nod towards the Wuthering
:43:32. > :43:37.Heights story. For me, that is the window that may be Kathy would have
:43:37. > :43:41.knocked on to get Heathcliff to let her in. You must have had a lot of
:43:41. > :43:45.comments passing by today. Anything special they but said? The best
:43:45. > :43:51.thing is when people from Yorkshire have gone past and said it is just
:43:51. > :43:54.like being at home. We will be finding out what the judges thought
:43:54. > :44:00.of all the other gardens in tomorrow night's programme on BBC
:44:00. > :44:05.Two. While small, Artisan Gardens like Tracey's have been a staple of
:44:05. > :44:08.Chelsea for some years, 2012 has seen the Royal Horticultural
:44:08. > :44:12.Society introduced a number of new features. I'm joined by the
:44:12. > :44:16.Director General to tell me more. Environment is ever present now. It
:44:16. > :44:20.didn't used to be much but now it's everywhere, and its sector
:44:20. > :44:23.continued to be so. Absolutely, and this year more than most. The
:44:24. > :44:27.garden designers have done an amazing job in bringing together
:44:27. > :44:31.the heat of March, then the drought, then the weather, we are hopefully
:44:31. > :44:36.going to get some hot weather, but the environment plays a major part.
:44:36. > :44:41.In a lot of the garden you will see drought tolerant plants. Throughout
:44:41. > :44:45.the whole of the RHS environment, lots of ideas on how to conserve
:44:45. > :44:49.water, how to work with the environment so we can still or have
:44:49. > :44:53.beautiful gardens. It's been a tough year to get plans to have
:44:53. > :44:57.enough foliage on, never mind to have flowers as well. It must be an
:44:57. > :45:01.even bigger pressure on the judges, to have to go round the millions of
:45:01. > :45:06.plants in this show and pick out one which they say is best plant in
:45:06. > :45:11.Show. How on earth do you decide? We have the world's finest experts
:45:11. > :45:18.really looking at all of these plants. They decide whether it is
:45:18. > :45:25.the colour, form, foliage... The plants are just Stanning. I
:45:25. > :45:32.wouldn't be that judge for all the tea in China! It is Crufts for
:45:32. > :45:37.gardeners. Possibly. It is. All of this beauty at Chelsea, how do you
:45:37. > :45:42.side -- decide the plan to of the year. But we've got fantastic plans
:45:42. > :45:49.and they are Stanning. Who would be a judge? The Fresh Gardens category
:45:49. > :45:53.is new. We've had Sheikh Gardens, urban gardens, artisan garden, what
:45:53. > :45:59.is fresh about them? It's very different for the RHS to have
:45:59. > :46:03.smaller gardens with less rules. There's the freedom to create
:46:03. > :46:08.contemporary gardens for today's living. I think they are really
:46:08. > :46:11.exciting. Whether it's the cold that you can download. You can
:46:11. > :46:21.cycle on a bike to water your garden. There's lots of exciting
:46:21. > :46:23.

:50:15. > :50:20.Do you think it has moved in permanently? But, I have got to get

:50:29. > :50:32.then! No pressure at all. It is on the
:50:32. > :50:38.3rd June. I cannot tell you too much because I would be carted off
:50:38. > :50:42.to the tower. It is all secretive. Actually like Judith, we are doing
:50:42. > :50:48.things which always have the emblems of the blish Isles and
:50:48. > :50:52.which are celebratory about our -- the British Isles and which are
:50:52. > :50:57.celebratory about our British Isles. I want everything to stay on, not
:50:57. > :51:03.to fall off. If you get a lick on it, it will fall off. Will you be
:51:03. > :51:07.on the barge with her? I don't know yet. I will be there on the morning
:51:07. > :51:11.making sure everything is perfect. Beyond that, I am not sure. I am on

:51:53. > :51:58.of the Chelsea Flower Show. Despite their jam packed jubilee schedule,
:51:58. > :52:02.the royal party arrived with their pun cualty. And waiting at the gate
:52:02. > :52:05.was James Alexander Sinclair. gardens are ready. The hard work is
:52:05. > :52:09.done. The rain has gone and the sun has come out. The atmosphere at the
:52:09. > :52:13.showground changes to one of anticipation, as we wait, patiently
:52:13. > :52:20.and quietly for the arrival of the show's patron, Her Majesty the

:52:43. > :52:47.This time, in special honour of her Diamond Jubilee, the society have
:52:47. > :52:52.created a special garden, just for her.
:52:52. > :52:57.Then it is off to The Great Pavillion. Once inside, Her Majesty
:52:57. > :53:03.talks to children from the Knightsbridge Schools Garden,
:53:03. > :53:08.before making her way through the clematis stand. What did the Queen
:53:08. > :53:14.like particularly? Loved this, the gym shoes. We asked the children to
:53:14. > :53:23.give us their trainers and we said we would make them smell better.
:53:23. > :53:30.Ter majesty spent time with the -- Her Majesty spent time with the
:53:31. > :53:35.Orchid Society. This orchid was in her wedding bouquet. Back to the
:53:35. > :53:40.show gardens, where Her Majesty took some time to speak to
:53:40. > :53:48.designers. Did the queen take any cuttings? She seemed to know what
:53:49. > :53:53.she was on about, which is nice. She enjoyed my bubbles. It is a
:53:53. > :53:58.wonderful moment when the royals visit Chelsea. This year when we
:53:58. > :54:03.are all celebrating the jubilee, it feels extra special. Now, as the
:54:04. > :54:11.royal party leaves, you can feel that Chelsea has truly begun.
:54:11. > :54:15.Well, James joins us, hot-foot from following HM - a good turnout?
:54:15. > :54:20.extraordinary turnout for jubilee year. Many people than there
:54:20. > :54:27.usually are. And a jubilee trophy. It is this first time - it is the
:54:27. > :54:35.jubilee trophy, which is presented to the best exhibit in the Great
:54:35. > :54:42.Pavilion. Sarah Hyde got the award. They are lily growers. This is
:54:42. > :54:46.their seventh Chelsea. They are relative new comers.
:54:46. > :54:50.Do you think they had any idea that they would be awarded this? We had
:54:50. > :54:54.no idea. They had no idea until ten minutes before it happened. There
:54:54. > :54:58.was this trophy sitting there. A lot of people standing around.
:54:58. > :55:05.Nobody had any idea. It could have been anybody in the pavilion. Ten
:55:05. > :55:09.minutes before, Sarah was told, in a fluster to receive the
:55:09. > :55:13.presentation. She was wiped away. She could barely speak afterwards.
:55:13. > :55:17.If tonight her family have set the recorder to record the programme,
:55:17. > :55:22.they will have that lovely footage and those other pictures of her
:55:22. > :55:29.getting her trophy. It was a very, very special moment for them.
:55:29. > :55:39.Usually there is an award for the best exhibit. It is the President's
:55:39. > :55:41.
:55:41. > :55:44.Award. To get it from the Queen is very special. We were given a -- an
:55:44. > :55:52.award for the jubilee year. When you have come here as many times as
:55:52. > :55:55.the Queen and the Duke have come.... 48 times. That's more than you!
:55:55. > :56:02.Not many! It means something to them as well
:56:02. > :56:10.- it is a landmark in their dairy as well as ours. She spent longer
:56:10. > :56:15.here than she normally does. Saw a lot of people. The Princess Royal
:56:15. > :56:19.spoke for a long time here to the people by the Korean Garden. They
:56:19. > :56:24.take enormous trouble to talk to people who matter, don't they?
:56:24. > :56:28.think so. That is really good to see, because people put so much
:56:28. > :56:35.effort into the garden. Just the few minutes to talk to her means a
:56:35. > :56:39.lot to them. They are tired by this stage and they are exhausted.
:56:39. > :56:44.royal seal of approval. We have only just started what promises to
:56:44. > :56:49.be a glorious week. Tomorrow, the excitement of medals day beckons.
:56:50. > :56:59.Until then, sit back and enjoy a magical Monday, when the annual
