:04:59. > :05:04.story. One show garden here in the Great

:05:05. > :05:07.Pavilion celebrates 175th birthday of the horticultural charity

:05:08. > :05:12.Perennial. Jim, you are an ambassador for the charity. Explain

:05:13. > :05:18.what it does. The charity basically is to help anybody that is involved

:05:19. > :05:26.in horticulture. It originally started 175 years ago, when Charles

:05:27. > :05:28.Dickens had one of his literary lunches. At the end of it his

:05:29. > :05:32.Dickens had one of his literary finished with, why do the people

:05:33. > :05:35.looking at so much beauty end up in poverty? He was referring to the

:05:36. > :05:41.head gardeners and under gardeners of the time. That was the birth of

:05:42. > :05:43.it. It has grown and grown. Head gardeners, yes, groundsman,

:05:44. > :05:48.arboriculture lists, journalists, television presenters, you name it.

:05:49. > :05:53.Anybody connected with horticulture, we are there to help.

:05:54. > :05:59.Helping each other. Helping each other. Many traits have their own

:06:00. > :06:03.charity but we are very proud of ours. What a showcase for the

:06:04. > :06:11.charity. You have retirement homes. We have two retirement homes. They

:06:12. > :06:16.are people who need a bit more help than the ones who can look after

:06:17. > :06:19.themselves. We had several retirement homes but most people

:06:20. > :06:23.want to stay where they are and there is nothing wrong with that.

:06:24. > :06:25.Last week we visited the charity's cottages in Barton, Cambridge should

:06:26. > :06:31.conduct to meet a couple of the residents. -- in Cambridgeshire, to

:06:32. > :06:39.meet a couple of the residents. I am 83 in a fortnight and I have

:06:40. > :06:46.been gardening 51 years. When it came to retiring, I contacted the

:06:47. > :06:51.Perennial caseworker in Yorkshire. She said I could come down to Barton

:06:52. > :06:55.and have a look at the accommodation. My marriage had

:06:56. > :07:02.broken down. After many years. I thought, well, I can't hesitate. I

:07:03. > :07:12.can't refuse. It has got everything I ever wanted. We have a team of

:07:13. > :07:20.gardeners who once a week to the gardens up. You can't go wrong.

:07:21. > :07:28.My father was a keen gardener. His hobby was gardening. It passed on to

:07:29. > :07:36.me. I set up my own gardening business in Devon. Got very busy. In

:07:37. > :07:45.fact, too much work. I had to say no to a lot of it. I did see an advert

:07:46. > :07:50.for Perennial 1995 and I thought it would be a good idea to go on the

:07:51. > :07:56.waiting list, in case I was seriously ill. In 1997, I was

:07:57. > :08:03.seriously ill. I had lymphoma, cancer of the white blood cells and

:08:04. > :08:10.limbs. Even part-time gardening was not possible. You are so weak after

:08:11. > :08:12.cancer. So my consultant and I had a chat and he said, well, the best

:08:13. > :08:17.cancer. So my consultant and I had a thing you can do is retire. I was

:08:18. > :08:24.only 58. The only way to retire was to sell my bungalow and Perennial, I

:08:25. > :08:30.got into contact with the caseworker for Devon and she said, well, we

:08:31. > :08:37.have got a vacancy in Barton and it was marvellous. So really thanks to

:08:38. > :08:42.Perennial I was able to embark upon retirement and it has helped to keep

:08:43. > :08:48.me going, really. Because I am still here, 14 years later.

:08:49. > :08:56.Unsurprisingly, Richard has got a gorgeous -- gorgeous Darden there.

:08:57. > :09:01.The charity also supports working gardeners who have hit hard times.

:09:02. > :09:08.Martin Crowley jointly. Tell us your story. A few years ago I came down

:09:09. > :09:13.with a condition, a condition that takes you from being perfectly fit

:09:14. > :09:18.and healthy to being paralysed in between a few days and a month or

:09:19. > :09:21.so. Did it completely stop you working? Yes, I could not work at

:09:22. > :09:25.all. I working? Yes, I could not work at

:09:26. > :09:28.some time. I could not walk. I could working? Yes, I could not work at

:09:29. > :09:31.not do anything at all. That must have been seriously worrying. Yes,

:09:32. > :09:35.aside from the fact have been seriously worrying. Yes,

:09:36. > :09:38.life-threatening, once I had come through the other side there was a

:09:39. > :09:41.massive job of recovering. I did through the other side there was a

:09:42. > :09:46.know how we would manage. through the other side there was a

:09:47. > :09:50.Perennial help you? They came in and sorted everything out with the

:09:51. > :09:55.benefits. They understand the system. They made sure that we

:09:56. > :09:57.claimed for what we were supposed to. They did an amazing job.

:09:58. > :10:02.Basically we can contact them to. They did an amazing job.

:10:03. > :10:02.whenever, and they are always on to. They did an amazing job.

:10:03. > :10:06.end of the phone. It to. They did an amazing job.

:10:07. > :10:10.service. Fantastic. It is lovely to see you here. Good look in the

:10:11. > :10:16.future as well. Thanks. You Low-macro Perennial's work is funded

:10:17. > :10:21.by two Gardens open to the public, one in Suffolk was gifted to the

:10:22. > :10:25.charity last year and opens three times a week between April and

:10:26. > :10:29.September. It was due to the generous city of the owner,

:10:30. > :10:33.Bernard, and we went to meet him at a garden last week.

:10:34. > :10:46.I always wanted to live in the country and some people who lived in

:10:47. > :10:51.Wistow helped -- asks me to come to see them. They said, why don't you

:10:52. > :10:55.buy this? We are just going to West see them. They said, why don't you

:10:56. > :11:03.Africa. I said, OK. How much do you want for it? We settled it over a

:11:04. > :11:11.cup of tea. It was for ?1550. I have never looked back. When I came here

:11:12. > :11:18.in 1958, I planted 40 cricket bat willows, which I hope one day would

:11:19. > :11:30.win centuries for somebody. But never a bat was used. I got

:11:31. > :11:39.interested in gardening instead. I am notoriously colourblind. So any

:11:40. > :11:47.chance of colour matching, that sort of thing, I accept full praise for

:11:48. > :11:53.any benefit that is given to me. But I don't understand any of it. It is

:11:54. > :11:57.just sheer good luck, or I have read the right books.

:11:58. > :12:11.It has been my life. I have got so many memories in the garden. So it

:12:12. > :12:23.is completely me. What you see is me, in the garden. From the word go

:12:24. > :12:30.I have always funded the garden. I continued to do that through

:12:31. > :12:32.Perennial. I hope the legacy that I will be leaving them will also

:12:33. > :12:47.provide sufficient money to do that. Jo Thompson, the designer of the

:12:48. > :12:52.perennial Garden, will be joining Carol on BBC Two a little later to

:12:53. > :12:56.talk about her planting scheme. All week we have been inviting some

:13:57. > :14:01.to Andy about it in the green room and he said, someone came up to me

:14:02. > :14:07.and said you would like to do work experience with me. This was many

:14:08. > :14:10.years ago. I was like, I would love to. He said, OK, we will

:15:25. > :15:31.Chelsea in 1975 and has exhibited here every year since. With 26 gold

:15:32. > :15:33.medals it's the turn of the Northern Irish division of the society which

:15:34. > :15:39.is taking the reigns this year with Irish division of the society which

:15:40. > :15:41.s display A Green Thought In A Green Shade. There is a tribute within the

:15:42. > :15:44.display to a special flower arranger. I am here to reveal a

:15:45. > :15:48.Chelsea treasure, something you may have not seen before.

:15:49. > :15:54.It was deliberately kept secret until the end of the week. It's not

:15:55. > :16:03.a flower, it's not a plant. He is a man.

:16:04. > :16:08.The world renowned floral artist, it's a pleasure to meet you. It's a

:16:09. > :16:13.pleasure to meet you. It's unusual for a Reverend to be arranging his

:16:14. > :16:20.own flowers. How did that start? I just love plants. I decided when I

:16:21. > :16:25.watch people arrange flowers in Church perhaps I could do better and

:16:26. > :16:32.you are pomp pompous enough to think that, you should do it. It was

:16:33. > :16:39.uncommon for a man when I was young. Something wrong somewhere! So what

:16:40. > :16:52.do you consider the most important when you are arranging, is it

:16:53. > :16:55.flowers or foliage? Follow Foliage, definitely. What's it got that

:16:56. > :17:03.flowers haven't? The texture, colour, shape, the history. There's

:17:04. > :17:08.so little in our gardens which is indigenous, anything you pick up has

:17:09. > :17:11.come from somewhere else. It brings the world into your sitting room.

:17:12. > :17:14.come from somewhere else. It brings Especially in the shape of a floral

:17:15. > :17:19.arrangement. That's correct. You progressed, when did this start,

:17:20. > :17:22.when did you put the first leaves in a vase? About 1950 or so, over 50

:17:23. > :17:28.years, well over 50 years. I had the a vase? About 1950 or so, over 50

:17:29. > :17:31.great opportunity of being able to arrange and raise money for

:17:32. > :17:31.great opportunity of being able to charity which I couldn't do through

:17:32. > :17:34.preaching. You wouldn't charity which I couldn't do through

:17:35. > :17:40.listen to me preach but you will pay charity which I couldn't do through

:17:41. > :17:42.to watch me... Well, some people do. I would pay to listen to you. That's

:17:43. > :17:45.to watch me... Well, some people do. OK. That's how it started. Now I

:17:46. > :17:49.have been I think to probably every country in the world, except Russia.

:17:50. > :17:56.That's next? Well, yes. Do you think they will have me at my age? I am

:17:57. > :17:59.sure they'll have you. I am sure they would welcome you with open

:18:00. > :18:03.arms. To be working with living real things is... The real tragedy

:18:04. > :18:03.arms. To be working with living real create something beautiful and it's

:18:04. > :18:07.arms. To be working with living real going to die in

:18:14. > :18:18.not the important thing, it's to And to get a lot out of it, as well.

:18:19. > :18:18.While the moment lasts. That's exactly it. You have a hosta named

:18:19. > :18:22.after you, what do you exactly it. You have a hosta named

:18:23. > :18:29.she said it was very exactly it. You have a hosta named

:18:30. > :18:32.wrinkled. I think I might like one, perhaps it will inspire me to

:18:33. > :18:34.arrange some flowers of my own. That's right. I look forward to

:18:35. > :18:43.arrange some flowers of my own. seeing you put it in

:18:44. > :18:49.arrange some flowers of my own. Good plant list there. I might get

:18:58. > :18:59.shared passion for flowers. We tagged along with them as they

:19:17. > :19:22.Heaven? We have. Listen, I am sure that's a Jacqueline Du Pre rose.

:19:23. > :19:29.Darling, do you remember her? Of course I do. When you were little. I

:19:30. > :19:35.have got a Jacqueline Du Pre rose on the right side of the front door

:19:36. > :19:41.which has been in a pot for about 30 years. This year it's really

:19:42. > :19:49.flowered prolifically. Jack Jackie is the -- Jackie is the reason I

:19:50. > :19:50.played the cello when I was four and had to take up an instrument. I have

:19:51. > :19:56.a photo of you and her. I had to take up an instrument. I have

:19:57. > :20:06.Jackie every time I come out of the front door.

:20:07. > :20:12.Mum, Tash. Oh, look! Smell. The scent! Heaven! It's out of this

:20:13. > :20:19.world, darling. You know, to think that she was in our lives all those

:20:20. > :20:20.years. They're two of the really important women in our lives. That

:20:21. > :20:31.makes me cry. Amazing. important women in our lives. That

:21:29. > :21:36.the colours. We have come to look at your sweetpeas. What's the secret?

:21:37. > :21:41.If you have the time, take some side shoots off and tie the plant. That's

:21:42. > :21:47.good advice. Keep picking the flowers. You have to keep picking,

:21:48. > :21:50.yes. Once it starts to set seed it will stop flowering. Those

:21:51. > :21:56.multi-coloured ones are sort of purple, what are they called? Lisa

:21:57. > :22:04.Marie, it's named after my daughter. purple, what are they called? Lisa

:22:05. > :22:11.Where is the beehive? Shall we ask someone? Yes, let's ask somebody.

:22:12. > :22:19.Excuse me, has anyone seen a beehive anywhere? Not in here. I think she's

:22:20. > :22:28.making it up. Do you think if we stand in the middle? Let's ask

:22:29. > :22:33.somebody. No, let's just wander. You two look like you had a

:22:34. > :22:38.wonderful time going around the Great Pavilion. We have had the best

:22:39. > :22:43.afternoon you can ever imagine, haven't we, darling? We have. You

:22:44. > :22:47.are such passionate gardeners both of you. This is your second visit,

:22:48. > :22:55.what do you make of it There's so much to learn from, you know, from

:22:56. > :23:02.vegetables, allotments, to the wonderful... Asking advice from the

:23:03. > :23:06.growers and just seeing that all these incredible show gardens, but

:23:07. > :23:10.also the cut flowers, as well. The whole thing is intoxicating. Cut

:23:11. > :23:16.flowers is something that you really introduced to Emilia's life. You

:23:17. > :23:19.love them. You have grown up with them. Yes, a real memory of

:23:20. > :23:25.childhood is mum gardening. She has such green fingers and all these pot

:23:26. > :23:31.plants and we would always have wild flowers on the kitchen table. I have

:23:32. > :23:36.taken that on. Wherever I am in the world I get flowers on the table and

:23:37. > :23:40.it makes it feel like home in whatever soulless hotel room you are

:23:41. > :23:45.in. Talking of home, we saw you looking for beehives, had any luck?

:23:46. > :23:50.No, but afterwards I am going to pursue because I am desperate to ask

:23:51. > :23:57.them advice. We got a swarm that have come into the roof in Dorset. I

:23:58. > :24:02.didn't know this until just now. They might be making honey in the

:24:03. > :24:08.roof. I want to ask advice. Unless you want to keep them there. They

:24:09. > :24:14.have the wonderful wild flowers and the sunflowers that they take all

:24:15. > :24:19.their pollen and nectar from. It will make wonderful honey if you

:24:20. > :24:22.manage to keep them. You have been keen to pass on your love of

:24:23. > :24:27.gardening through generations to your granddaughter Rose. I have

:24:28. > :24:34.about 100 pots in London, we haven't got a garden in London. You can grow

:24:35. > :24:38.anything in a pot. Rose comes up to the balcony and you give her little

:24:39. > :24:44.bits of the plants and then I the balcony and you give her little

:24:45. > :24:45.pretend I am asleep and she wakes me up with different scented flowers. I

:24:46. > :24:49.couldn't believe it, she went out up with different scented flowers. I

:24:50. > :24:51.the other day, she is three, and up with different scented flowers. I

:24:52. > :24:54.said that was a Jasmine. She had remembered. She pressed flowers,

:24:55. > :24:58.wild flowers at Easter. Turns them into cards. It's wonderful for

:24:59. > :25:06.children to learn. It was lovely to see the children today around the

:25:07. > :25:12.pavilion doing flower things, school children. It's joy for all ages. And

:25:13. > :25:19.wonderful, of course, to see both of you here today. Thank you so much.

:25:20. > :25:24.Thank you for having us. I think some of my favourite flowers

:25:25. > :25:31.of the show and always at Chelsea are iris. I love to see them here. I

:25:32. > :25:37.am going to pick two because they go together really well but they

:25:38. > :25:45.shouldn't somehow. A lovely rustic coloured flower at the top and this

:25:46. > :25:51.one, the tall iris, stunning with the upright petals, the standards

:25:52. > :25:55.they're called, and the falls. They look gorgeous together. They are

:25:56. > :26:01.beautiful. I love them. One of the flowers that has stood out for me

:26:02. > :26:08.this year, it's delicate and beautiful, it almost doesn't look

:26:09. > :26:13.real. They displayed it in a frame. Bill and Simon, it's a family

:26:14. > :26:18.tradition in that nursery. We wanted to celebrate some of this year's

:26:19. > :26:21.most iconic flowers so we sent our cameras out to capture the best

:26:22. > :27:55.blooms of Chelsea 2014. Wow, absolutely beautiful.

:27:56. > :28:01.Wonderful. We have had almost perfect Wetherall week. It's been

:28:02. > :28:06.fantastic. It's an incredible event. How have you enjoyed it? It's been

:28:07. > :28:10.wonderful. One of the things that's been most memorable were the last

:28:11. > :28:13.few days in the run-up to the show opening and seeing gardens packed

:28:14. > :28:17.with people and the designers and all the hard work. The team effort

:28:18. > :28:21.that goes into creating something like this, I will never forget that.

:28:22. > :28:24.The personalities behind it. It's like one huge family here. Over the

:28:25. > :28:28.years you get to know them all. Brilliant. These gardens start off

:28:29. > :28:31.pretty good but they get better throughout the week. Don't you

:28:32. > :28:35.think? You really get a sense of what it takes, the huge effort and

:28:36. > :28:38.expertise it takes to just put on the world's best flower show.

:28:39. > :28:44.Brilliant. That's all we have time for here on BBC1. Time to switch

:28:45. > :28:48.over to BBC2. There is still plenty more to come.

:28:49. > :28:51.We will be meeting the nurserymen and designers whose exhibits this

:28:52. > :28:55.year have been inspired by childhood memories. It's the moment we have

:28:56. > :29:01.all been waiting for as we reveal who has won the BBC RHS People's

:29:02. > :29:03.Choice Award. So reach for the remotes and join Monty and Joe over

:29:04. > :29:21.on BBC2. Bye. Hello, I'm Riz Lateef with your 90

:29:25. > :29:27.leader Nigel Farage after his party made big gains in the local

:29:28. > :29:30.elections in England. Labour won the most seats, while the Tories and Lib

:29:31. > :29:33.Dems suffered losses - the details at ten.
