:00:37. > :00:42.Hello. Since the first visitor stepped foot on to the grounds of
:00:43. > :00:45.the Royal Hospital on Monday, over 165,000 have admired and been
:00:46. > :00:49.equally inspired by this year's RHS Chelsea Flower Show, an event
:00:50. > :00:54.supported by M Investments. And behind us a bittersweet moment is
:00:55. > :00:58.about to happen. The beginning of the end as the bell is about to be
:00:59. > :01:02.rung to mark the plants sell off. We'll catch up with the full floral
:01:03. > :01:06.frenzy later. It's been quite a week with over 12 hours of coverage
:01:07. > :01:09.behind us. And just in case you didn't catch every manicured moment,
:01:10. > :01:22.this is your chance to put your feet up and enjoy our highlights from
:01:23. > :01:31.2014. On tonight's show: A new generation storm Main Avenue. So did
:01:32. > :01:37.they impress? It is very fresh, and exciting. It does not look like
:01:38. > :01:40.somebody who is new to the game. Gardens of Remembrance. How Chelsea
:01:41. > :01:50.designers marked the centenary of World War One. The landscape of the
:01:51. > :01:58.Somme has really informed and influenced my garden. There are
:01:59. > :02:02.traces of craters and panelling. -- tunnelling. And Mum came, too.
:02:03. > :02:10.Familiar faces reveal how they grew to love gardening. Gardening is such
:02:11. > :02:21.a wonderful outlet for a bit of headspace. Word is that the colours
:02:22. > :02:25.most keenly sought from visitors this year are black and blue. Will
:02:26. > :02:28.this signal the start of a new trend across our gardens? Time will tell.
:02:29. > :02:36.But there was one colour that the designers were after on Tuesday.
:02:37. > :02:40.Medals day began with dreams of gold and Nicki Chapman was up with the
:02:41. > :02:44.lark as she watched Alex Denman of the RHS hand out the honours. Good
:02:45. > :02:52.morning, Cleve West. I am delighted to see that you have won a gold
:02:53. > :02:59.medal. This is your fifth gold medal at Chelsea. Yes, fantastic. What are
:03:00. > :03:05.you particularly proud of? All the elements work for me, the
:03:06. > :03:15.craftsmanship involved. I did not expect to be crying. I am delighted
:03:16. > :03:19.to say that you have won a gold medal. Congratulations. What is so
:03:20. > :03:23.special about medal. Congratulations. What is so
:03:24. > :03:37.at Chelsea? This is very special for me. I need time to think about it.
:03:38. > :03:42.Is this torture? You know it is. I just want to know what that is. I am
:03:43. > :03:47.delighted to say that you have won the gold medal for your home-based
:03:48. > :03:55.garden. An impressive track record. How many gold medals now? Six.
:03:56. > :04:00.Someone told me that you have been up for 48 hours? It is something
:04:01. > :04:05.like that. I managed to get some sleep last night. That is the length
:04:06. > :04:11.that you have to go to to win a gold medal at Chelsea. I gold medal.
:04:12. > :04:19.Congratulations. Thank you very much. At the tender age of? 27. You
:04:20. > :04:26.must be one of the youngest gold medal winners that Chelsea has
:04:27. > :04:31.seen? Yes, brilliantly deserving as well. Fantastic. You never
:04:32. > :04:38.compromised. This garden is fresh and original. Really well done.
:04:39. > :04:44.Everyone back home helped out, the team. I can hear in your voice how
:04:45. > :04:56.much this means to you. Yes, I am really happy. Hugo Bugg became a new
:04:57. > :05:00.member in an exclusive club, under-30-year-olds who have been
:05:01. > :05:03.awarded gold. He was one of a flurry of first-time Chelsea designers to
:05:04. > :05:04.have been welcomed to the show. We've been watching their arrival
:05:05. > :05:25.with keen interest. You must be the youngest designers
:05:26. > :05:30.here at Chelsea. Your garden has come under scrutiny like everyone
:05:31. > :05:36.else. Talk me through the garden. It is based on the night sky. Where we
:05:37. > :05:40.come from, the Brecon Beacons, was given a night sky award, one of the
:05:41. > :05:46.best five places in the world to see stars at night. It is very clear. It
:05:47. > :05:52.is amazing. That was our main inspiration for the garden. For us,
:05:53. > :05:58.trying to capture the night sky, we have used lots of black in the
:05:59. > :06:04.garden. The backdrop creates a Stanley feel, with brass discs. That
:06:05. > :06:08.is very ambitious, to make a garden which is essentially a daytime
:06:09. > :06:18.thing, and about like, based on the night sky. The theme for us Israelis
:06:19. > :06:25.-- the theme for us is very strong. We wanted a usable garden, not one
:06:26. > :06:29.that was dominated by a theme. Matthew, it has really come
:06:30. > :06:35.together. This is a fantastic garden. You must be delighted. I am
:06:36. > :06:45.the vision you had in your head come the vision you had in your head come
:06:46. > :06:48.bright copper and we have the vision you had in your head come
:06:49. > :06:51.of magic to them to get the vision you had in your head come
:06:52. > :06:53.weathered look. We have this very degree. They feel like they have
:06:54. > :07:00.been here for ages. degree. They feel like they have
:07:01. > :07:07.planting? It is very Syrian. Green and white. I wanted amid
:07:08. > :07:14.tranquillity. I think those towns, the fresh greens and whites, they
:07:15. > :07:24.really do that. They certainly give you that mood of tranquillity. I
:07:25. > :07:29.wanted to replicate nature. We have a storm water tank which absorbs the
:07:30. > :07:34.pressure of the water falling off a perceived risk. It travels through
:07:35. > :07:39.different areas, infiltration bands. It gives the opportunity for the
:07:40. > :07:40.water to slow in the garden and filter back into the ground like it
:07:41. > :07:47.would in nature. filter back into the ground like it
:07:48. > :07:51.responsibility to deal with filter back into the ground like it
:07:52. > :07:58.not let it go down the drain. Try filter back into the ground like it
:07:59. > :08:02.somehow. He has taken that seem and really ran with it and created a
:08:03. > :08:07.fantastic contemporary, stylised garden. I really like it. I
:08:08. > :08:07.fantastic contemporary, stylised way that the angles cut through the
:08:08. > :08:14.plant. That way that the angles cut through the
:08:15. > :08:18.line to the boundary. Hugo has done a fantastic job. I have followed his
:08:19. > :08:21.line to the boundary. Hugo has done career over the last few years and
:08:22. > :08:31.it makes me feel very proud that he has come the Chelsea and done
:08:32. > :08:32.himself proud. Well done, Hugo. Here I am on Main Avenue,
:08:33. > :08:38.himself proud. Well done, Hugo. Here thousands of visitors here today. I
:08:39. > :08:41.want to know if these people know that there are young designers here
:08:42. > :08:48.and if they think it has made any difference to the show? Sophie
:08:49. > :08:55.Walker is the designer behind this garden. This has been designed by
:08:56. > :09:01.someone who is only 28, which, by Chelsea standards, is very young. Do
:09:02. > :09:06.you think that is a good thing? It is wonderful. Lovely. It seems to
:09:07. > :09:11.have been designed by someone who is oblivious to fashion. The show
:09:12. > :09:17.gardens have all the same sorts of colours, whereas this is completely
:09:18. > :09:20.different. It is a great thing to inject Chelsea with these young
:09:21. > :09:26.designers. There should be more of it. They are all getting old. It is
:09:27. > :09:35.nice to see young people interested in garden. This garden was designed
:09:36. > :09:41.by brothers, both in their 20s. Is it good for the show to have
:09:42. > :09:46.youngsters around? Absolutely. It is nice to have the youngsters together
:09:47. > :09:50.with the more established designers. It is interesting to see that
:09:51. > :09:58.youngsters can do it as much as the older people. They are giving the
:09:59. > :10:02.older people run for their? Exactly. Hugo Bugg design the Waterscape
:10:03. > :10:08.Garden which won a gold medal this year. The designer of this garden
:10:09. > :10:14.was only 27 years old. He or she has done really well. It is very fresh,
:10:15. > :10:21.exciting, but it does not look like someone who is new to the game. If
:10:22. > :10:26.they can come up with some great new ideas, this is a lovely garden for a
:10:27. > :10:30.first time. Good luck to him. I was fascinated to see this shot
:10:31. > :10:33.taken from the air of the Chelsea Flower Show. It graphically
:10:34. > :10:41.illustrates just how large the Great Pavilion is compared to the show
:10:42. > :10:43.gardens. And inside over 100 of the country's leading growers brought
:10:44. > :10:46.their best blooms and exciting new varieties. And just like the show
:10:47. > :10:49.garden designers, Tuesday morning saw great anticipation and not a
:10:50. > :10:53.little exhilaration as they woke to find the judges' verdict on their
:10:54. > :11:03.efforts. Carol Klein went to find out.
:11:04. > :11:07.Can you imagine the huge amount of work that has gone into putting on
:11:08. > :11:11.these wonderful displays in the work that has gone into putting on
:11:12. > :11:15.great Pavilion? People have been working all year, and it has all
:11:16. > :11:23.been about today. Today's medals day. It is hugely important for
:11:24. > :11:24.every exhibitor, but it is particularly significant if this is
:11:25. > :11:53.your first time. This is the first Chelsea show for
:11:54. > :11:57.this man. I met you five years ago when you were doing your first
:11:58. > :12:04.display up north. Yes. This is looking magnificent. Thank you. For
:12:05. > :12:10.your first Chelsea, you have won a silver gilt medal. Yes. And this
:12:11. > :12:19.plant has been short listed for the Chelsea plant of the year.
:12:20. > :12:25.Fantastic. Two reasons to celebrate. Tell us about your plants. They are
:12:26. > :12:29.not hardly. No, they are fine outside during the summer, in a
:12:30. > :12:33.sheltered location, but they need to come in during winter for frost
:12:34. > :12:38.protection. Completely dry during the winter. Next spring, you bring
:12:39. > :12:49.them all with a bit of gentle watering. Yes, ideally a warmer
:12:50. > :12:53.location. Million, well done. Another first time at Chelsea is the
:12:54. > :13:00.city of Cape Town, who have won a silver gilt medal. Not bad for your
:13:01. > :13:15.first display. The whole thing is composed for of blooms. -- of a
:13:16. > :13:31.tapestry of blooms. It is a glorious display of texture and colour. This
:13:32. > :13:39.nursery has a splendid show plants. How did you get on? We got a silver
:13:40. > :13:45.gilt medal. Congratulations, it is a brilliant achievement. It is always
:13:46. > :13:49.nice to get the top award, but sometimes the weather does not work
:13:50. > :13:56.for you. Your plants have been baking away in the warm weather. It
:13:57. > :14:02.is a glorious display. Well done. This time, the story is different.
:14:03. > :14:07.This nursery has been exhibiting at Chelsea for a number of years, but
:14:08. > :14:15.this is their very first gold medal. Are you feeling about it? Elated. It
:14:16. > :14:19.is a long time overdue. You have felt frustrated in past years by not
:14:20. > :14:28.winning the gold medal? Very frustrated, but we try and make a
:14:29. > :14:34.selection of different climbers. The judges like the Y factor. But we
:14:35. > :14:39.like something different on display. How did you feel last year when you
:14:40. > :14:45.did not get the gold medal? I was very bad-tempered. I threatened to
:14:46. > :14:51.stand on Chelsea Bridge and through all the plants in. But not the
:14:52. > :15:08.judges, I am sure? I would have been tempted. Absolutely brilliant. Very
:15:09. > :15:12.well deserved. Every Chelsea is a mixture of disappointment and
:15:13. > :15:17.triumphs. But regardless of which awards all these exhibitors get, we
:15:18. > :15:32.should thank them all for putting on such a superb and memorable show.
:15:33. > :15:39.Every year out of the hundreds of exhibits in the great Pavilion the
:15:40. > :15:45.RHS judges award one nurse to read the equivalent of Best in show. This
:15:46. > :15:52.year it was presented to southwestern bloom. John is here
:15:53. > :15:59.with me. It was quite an emotional morning? It was incredible. I had no
:16:00. > :16:05.idea we were in the running for it and it was a smashing surprise. I am
:16:06. > :16:13.sure there were a lot of people involved to bring you here. Britain
:16:14. > :16:17.in Fulham dashed bloom involves loads of people and people have
:16:18. > :16:21.helped us throughout this whole process. The support has been
:16:22. > :16:27.incredible. They have all been on the phone for me and I thank them
:16:28. > :16:33.all for their wonderful involvement. James Alexander Sinclair, the judge,
:16:34. > :16:40.is here. Can you explain how the Diamond Jubilee award is given. It
:16:41. > :16:45.is basically given to the best of the best in horticulture. There are
:16:46. > :16:52.hundreds of exhibits and they are all judged by six different judging
:16:53. > :16:57.panel. They come up with one person. We end up with six people. Then the
:16:58. > :17:01.chairman and the moderators sit in a room and it takes hours of debate
:17:02. > :17:06.and bottles of wine and it can take a lot of time to come up with the
:17:07. > :17:12.answer because they are each arguing for their particular person. When
:17:13. > :17:18.they emerge, they come out with one person. It is a serious award. This
:17:19. > :17:23.is the best of anything in this tent and this tent is the best in
:17:24. > :17:28.horticulture. Are there any particular plans which draw you
:17:29. > :17:34.towards that. I am thinking it must be tricky to get these things here.
:17:35. > :17:39.Is that recognise? All of those things. Doing a garden is not just
:17:40. > :17:43.one thing, it is the sum of all the parts. If you are foolish enough
:17:44. > :17:53.like John to get a daily into flour, you have to know what you are
:17:54. > :17:56.doing. If you are going to jump off that diving board, you have to know
:17:57. > :17:59.how to land. Every flower, every combination, the amazing
:18:00. > :18:06.vegetables, all of that combine gets you a Diamond Jubilee award. You are
:18:07. > :18:14.saying it is worth the effort. I think so. Young blood is keenly
:18:15. > :18:18.sought too by the growers, many of whom are keen to see the work of
:18:19. > :18:20.their dynasty's continue. So it was encouraging and heart warming to
:18:21. > :18:23.watch a potential entrepreneur arrive when we visited king of the
:18:24. > :18:25.cleamatis, Raymond Evision, at his home in Guernsey just before the
:18:26. > :18:48.show. I suppose if I look back at the
:18:49. > :18:53.highlights, getting my first Chelsea gold medal was tremendously
:18:54. > :18:57.exciting. I remember it because we had not thought about turf and
:18:58. > :18:58.exciting. I remember it because we to cut the grass with scissors, so
:18:59. > :19:08.that I remember. The to cut the grass with scissors, so
:19:09. > :19:12.that has been very rewarding. The public enjoyed walking through and I
:19:13. > :19:17.guessed we must have been on more Facebooks than we could have
:19:18. > :19:30.imagined. Getting the 25th Chelsea flower show gold medal was really
:19:31. > :19:35.exciting. My eldest two daughters work and lived in England. My
:19:36. > :19:40.youngest works here in Guernsey. My daughters were pretty insistent on
:19:41. > :19:46.them having clematis named after them. Freckles was named originally
:19:47. > :19:53.after my daughter Rebecca. She had lots of freckles. About seven or
:19:54. > :20:01.eight years ago she said, can I have one called Rebecca? It is the most
:20:02. > :20:05.stunning and it is our bestseller. Rebecca and my grandson Freddie are
:20:06. > :20:13.flying in from Birmingham. That is nice. I get e-mails from Freddie
:20:14. > :20:17.telling me about his garden and his love of flowers. Recently he said, I
:20:18. > :20:24.want to take over your business when I am older. Freddie decided he would
:20:25. > :20:31.like to cross this flower with that flower. Can you tell me why? Red is
:20:32. > :20:39.my favourite colour and white is nice and bright, so I thought they
:20:40. > :20:48.might be a bit creative. I think that is very good. I will show you
:20:49. > :20:59.how we do this. Definitely. First we take one like this. Remember,
:21:00. > :21:08.clematis do not have petals. I have to take all of these off like that
:21:09. > :21:17.very carefully. In a moment we will get down to the centre. When we get
:21:18. > :21:23.to that we. Cutting. I want to get some pollen from the red one. You
:21:24. > :21:32.can see all the pollen. Isn't that great? I take the pollen and I
:21:33. > :21:38.transfer it onto there. That will help to create a new clematis. But
:21:39. > :21:44.we want to make sure we do not get any pollen from
:21:45. > :21:49.we want to make sure we do not get flour onto it. We get a paper bag
:21:50. > :21:54.like this and put it over the top. Those are the parents of the new
:21:55. > :21:56.flower. Then we have to wait and fingers crossed we will have another
:21:57. > :22:14.new clematis. He is really into his garden and he
:22:15. > :22:21.loves the science of it. Think what he has got going for him. He has got
:22:22. > :22:30.the best clematis teacher alive. He has got the genes and the desire and
:22:31. > :22:32.you have got a magnet in the making. A poignant couple of gardens have
:22:33. > :22:36.proved particularly popular this year. Both mark the devastating
:22:37. > :22:38.impact of conflict. Both were accomplished and popular with
:22:39. > :22:43.visitors, which is impressive when you consider they were designed by
:22:44. > :22:50.newcomers on Main Avenue. I am on Matthew Keightley's garden,
:22:51. > :22:56.Hope For Heroes and it is his very first garden and it is also very
:22:57. > :23:02.personal. It is a subject that is very close to home. I have a brother
:23:03. > :23:08.who is on his fifth tour of duty in Afghanistan. It was on his previous
:23:09. > :23:12.tour that led me to come up with the format for this. He was picking up
:23:13. > :23:16.people injured on the front line and bringing them back to safety. It was
:23:17. > :23:21.a combination of that and in the fact in the media all we hear about
:23:22. > :23:26.is the trauma and devastation and the miracle story at the other end.
:23:27. > :23:32.I set out to explore what happens in between and how they get recovery.
:23:33. > :23:39.This is a journey of recovery. This is the shape of the Victoria Cross.
:23:40. > :23:47.Explain how the journey shapes out? The grand night is a symbol of their
:23:48. > :23:52.recovery and it becomes more refined as they walk through. And as the
:23:53. > :23:59.soldiers come onto the garden you have got these wonderful herbs.
:24:00. > :24:03.There is a subtle, sensory undertone throughout the planting. When the
:24:04. > :24:06.vigil impaired use the garden they will brush past them and kick up the
:24:07. > :24:11.fragrance. You come from the rough will brush past them and kick up the
:24:12. > :24:15.granite to this area and this is beautiful. They are making their
:24:16. > :24:22.journey through. These grasses are wonderful. This is one of my
:24:23. > :24:25.favourite bits of the garden. There is something
:24:26. > :24:28.favourite bits of the garden. There pleasing about the hard lines
:24:29. > :24:31.favourite bits of the garden. There the soft, moving grasses. Finally
:24:32. > :24:37.there is this beautiful area, this lovely sculpture, with hope on the
:24:38. > :24:42.horizon. It is stunning, it is your first garden. How stressful has it
:24:43. > :24:49.been? There have been moments. Everyone has moments. In my case, in
:24:50. > :24:53.my situation, because it is the first ignorance is bliss. It has
:24:54. > :25:01.just been head down, focus and hit the deadline. When it is over, this
:25:02. > :25:06.garden goes straight to a recovery centre so injured soldiers will be
:25:07. > :25:09.able to benefit from it. That is one of the best things about this
:25:10. > :25:26.project. It represents recovery and it will be used in recovery for the
:25:27. > :25:31.guys. As you know, 2014 marks the Centenary of the beginning of World
:25:32. > :25:35.War I and this highly significant and poignant estate has motivated a
:25:36. > :25:42.number of exhibitors at Chelsea to commemorate it. Amongst them is No
:25:43. > :25:49.Man's Land, a show garden by a first-time Chelsea designer,
:25:50. > :25:53.Charlotte Road. We joined her as she visited the Somme battlefield in
:25:54. > :26:10.France, it provided her with personal inspiration for her garden.
:26:11. > :26:19.We are standing in a field at a spot when my grandfather, who was 19 at
:26:20. > :26:25.the time, was getting ready to go over the top on the 1st of July,
:26:26. > :26:31.1916. He and another 1000 people from his regiment moved across to
:26:32. > :26:36.the German lines. Some survived and some did not and around 20,000
:26:37. > :26:42.people died that day, so he is lucky to come back. He was shot through
:26:43. > :26:46.the chest, but he got as far as the German lines. Then he hid and was
:26:47. > :26:52.able to start making his German lines. Then he hid and was
:26:53. > :26:52.wounded. He was within moments of being
:26:53. > :27:01.because he arrived back just after it had blown and one of his comrades
:27:02. > :27:05.was less fortunate. He describes how they tried to make the best
:27:06. > :27:06.was less fortunate. He describes how for this poor man and gave him a
:27:07. > :27:10.cigarette for this poor man and gave him a
:27:11. > :27:20.cheerful until the end. He did say this incident made him think of the
:27:21. > :27:26.futility and beastliness of war. It is an amazing feeling standing here
:27:27. > :27:32.on the spot where he probably went over more or less, give or take a
:27:33. > :27:39.few yards. This landscape has really informed and influenced my garden.
:27:40. > :27:44.There are places of mine craters, there are traces of trenches and
:27:45. > :27:56.tunnelling, but it is like a silent landscape because a lock of it is
:27:57. > :28:01.going on under the ground. I am here with Charlotte.
:28:02. > :28:08.Congratulations. A gold medal, you must be delighted. Delighted and
:28:09. > :28:14.relieved after 18 months. This has been a difficult garden. Technically
:28:15. > :28:21.very difficult. If I do a show garden again, there will be no
:28:22. > :28:24.slopes and curves. It is always amazing to see gardens planted as
:28:25. > :28:30.naturalistic play as the slope behind. But it is also full of
:28:31. > :28:36.metaphor and meaning. There are lot of symbols. The curves indicate the
:28:37. > :28:44.traces of trenches and tunnelling work. We have got some poppies. We
:28:45. > :28:49.have also used wild Rose because before the poppy became the big
:28:50. > :28:53.symbol for the First World War, the rose was very much something
:28:54. > :29:00.associated with the men coming back, the rows of Picardy. And the mine
:29:01. > :29:06.craters is there. All the craters on the Western front are teeming with
:29:07. > :29:12.life and vibrant again. And the wall is like a trench wall, but it is not
:29:13. > :29:17.a trench wall. It is conceptual. But the main feature is meant to be like
:29:18. > :29:30.a bunker or even the parapet of the trench. Will you be coming back to
:29:31. > :29:37.Chelsea? I do not know. I think it is wonderful. I am sure the public
:29:38. > :29:41.will enjoy it. I like the gardens commemorating war, for lots of
:29:42. > :29:46.reasons, not least because my father fought through the Second World War.
:29:47. > :29:51.My great uncle was killed at the Somme, and yet no one talked about
:29:52. > :29:56.it. To commemorate these events and pay 1's dues, it is important. I
:29:57. > :30:01.think Charlotte has done a fantastic job. She has evoked a sense of the
:30:02. > :30:09.place, but also the people behind it. To do that in a show garden is
:30:10. > :30:12.not easy. I think it is significant that they Help For Heroes garden of
:30:13. > :30:26.Matthew Keightley was the most popular with our viewers. People do
:30:27. > :30:29.respond to these gardens. Tucked off Main Avenue, but no less important,
:30:30. > :30:33.are the smaller show gardens in the Fresh and Artisan categories. They
:30:34. > :30:37.may be half the size and cost of the larger designs but they can still
:30:38. > :30:39.pack a punch. Toby Buckland went to check them out.
:30:40. > :30:44.There are three gold medal winning designs in this category this year.
:30:45. > :30:53.Joe Thompson for London square. Reachout. And the mind's I, which
:30:54. > :31:02.also scooped top honours for Best in show. -- The Mind's Eye. There are a
:31:03. > :31:11.couple of other designs that have caught my eye, even though they
:31:12. > :31:16.missed out on the gold-medal. This garden won a silver guilt. I love
:31:17. > :31:21.it, particularly the planting. It has chocolate tones running through
:31:22. > :31:30.it, from the fennel, to the irises. And also roses. This is red cedar.
:31:31. > :31:38.It is caramel coloured just now, but over time, it will turn or George
:31:39. > :31:43.Clooney like shade of grey. It works as a garden. You could lift it up,
:31:44. > :31:52.put it anywhere, and it would be fabulous. Sophie Walker got the
:31:53. > :31:58.silver medal for this. From the side, it looks like a shipping
:31:59. > :32:10.container. When you go inside, you're greeted by a of wild -- by
:32:11. > :32:15.wild plants. This is a view into the wilderness. There is decades of
:32:16. > :32:21.working this, going out into the wild and collecting seeds. Perhaps
:32:22. > :32:26.the judges awarded this garden silver because it is before its
:32:27. > :32:29.time, a little too conceptual, but I love it. Amongst the hustle and
:32:30. > :32:37.bustle of Chelsea, it is like a teleport machine, taking you
:32:38. > :32:42.straight into the wild. The Artisan gardens are always popular with the
:32:43. > :32:52.crowds, and this year, two of them have got a gold medal. This garden
:32:53. > :32:58.also got the best in show. This garden is a triumph. The designer
:32:59. > :33:03.got the silver gilt medal for it, but it is beautiful and well
:33:04. > :33:17.crafted. I love the topiary, and the planting even more. There is an
:33:18. > :33:23.element of realism here. Because these plants are grown in pots, they
:33:24. > :33:27.can be removed and replaced by something else when they are over.
:33:28. > :33:44.This building was built specifically for the show. That is magic. This
:33:45. > :33:48.garden got a bronze medal, but this does not mean it is not beautiful.
:33:49. > :33:55.It is quite unique, because the colour palette is quite vibrant.
:33:56. > :34:07.There are specialist plans like this. -- specialist plants. This
:34:08. > :34:15.little space might not have been perfect for the judges, but it said
:34:16. > :34:20.-- but it is certainly perfect for the roof Gardens of Kensington. The
:34:21. > :34:25.judges have a difficult job, but I think they have done it well. Some
:34:26. > :34:31.gardens do not stand up against the strict judging criteria. As the old
:34:32. > :34:34.saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the gardens at
:34:35. > :34:55.Chelsea are certainly very beautiful. And this morning we heard
:34:56. > :34:59.that the RHS People's Choice for the Small Garden Awards saw the Artisan
:35:00. > :35:04.Award go to Tour De Yorkshire. I got into gardening when I was very
:35:05. > :35:11.young, about seven, and it was my mum that did it, I'm making our
:35:12. > :35:19.school outing to the garden to do jobs. I hated it. It took me until
:35:20. > :35:27.my teens until I enjoyed it. It worked out OK. My mother had to
:35:28. > :35:32.garden around me and my brother playing football. Mothers have had a
:35:33. > :35:38.huge influence on lots of gardeners. They have. Maybe my mother knew that
:35:39. > :35:48.by pushing me somewhere, I would fight back. In a new feature we
:35:49. > :35:52.called Mum And Me, we invited familiar faces to reward their mums
:35:53. > :36:01.with a day out at the world's best flower show. I always thought it was
:36:02. > :36:06.too posh for the likes of us. There are lots of people wearing beige. I
:36:07. > :36:12.think it is very posh, posh flowers anyway. Yes. Your mum is going to be
:36:13. > :36:19.exploring Chelsea with you. Do you have similar tastes? I think so, but
:36:20. > :36:30.maybe not. She likes variegated things. I am more worried about her
:36:31. > :36:33.falling over. Just think, the Queen walked down this very passed
:36:34. > :36:42.yesterday. And now you are following. Mum is still very devoted
:36:43. > :36:48.to the garden. It is a lovely extension of your home. My mum lives
:36:49. > :36:52.on her own, and you get so much enjoyment from a beautiful garden.
:36:53. > :37:03.She likes lots of colour in her garden. This garden is quite small.
:37:04. > :37:11.She lives in London. She has a patio, and a grasp order. We do try,
:37:12. > :37:21.we have Jasmine and Magnolia. Bamboo, which is overtaking the
:37:22. > :37:26.garden. You have a beautiful garden. One is grass, and the other is
:37:27. > :37:35.Japanese in style. And you have plastic squirrels. If you see a paid
:37:36. > :37:43.of legs sticking out of a rose bush at some point, that might be my
:37:44. > :37:51.mother. Is this your first gold-medal? It is six out of six.
:37:52. > :38:03.Nothing else will do. Not any more, no. When he was little, I used to
:38:04. > :38:06.get him out of the body and endlessly deadhead the juniors.
:38:07. > :38:17.get him out of the body and endlessly deadhead flowers. You
:38:18. > :38:23.could not understand that you were not allowed to pick the flowers.
:38:24. > :38:33.Does this bring back memories? Yes, even the driftwood. It reminds me of
:38:34. > :38:37.my grand. She was always collecting beautiful objects from the beach.
:38:38. > :38:48.And mixing it with bamboo. It is very oriental and very organic. How
:38:49. > :38:55.keen gardener are you? I cannot say an expert. My mother is the X-Pac so
:38:56. > :39:07.I am pleased that she is with me. I do not have green fingers, but I
:39:08. > :39:15.definitely respected and enjoy it. -- my mother is the expert. I love
:39:16. > :39:21.those trees. They are flat on top. It is like a perfect frame. I
:39:22. > :39:25.those trees. They are flat on top. the way that they sit on and off of
:39:26. > :39:30.the actual grass. They look like they could move. Order you could
:39:31. > :39:36.actually sit on them. What do you think? I think it is wonderful.
:39:37. > :39:44.Thank you very much for bringing me along. It is lovely, I would never
:39:45. > :39:47.have got here without you. You're watching a catch-up on what's been
:39:48. > :39:52.another packed and memorable week at the Chelsea Flower Show. And as the
:39:53. > :39:57.bell has been rung sell-off, mayhem has set in with a
:39:58. > :40:15.scrum-down right below the terrace here. Let's catch up on the action.
:40:16. > :40:33.Five, four, three, two, one. BELL RINGS.
:40:34. > :40:43.She has got carried away. Who has? My mum. She has gone to get more
:40:44. > :40:52.plants, so I am waiting outside. How much did you pay for those?
:40:53. > :40:58.Nothing. Show me what you have got. I picked these out without knowing
:40:59. > :41:01.they were this large. How much a bunch? ?5. It is lots to carry home
:41:02. > :41:06.to Nottingham. You bunch? ?5. It is lots to carry home
:41:07. > :41:14.this home to Nottingham? Yes, on the train. It is relaxing on this plot,
:41:15. > :41:22.because all the plans go to Help For Heroes afterwards. -- all the
:41:23. > :41:29.plants. Everything is getting moved, so nothing is for sale. I am
:41:30. > :41:36.surrounded. How many did you buy? Nine. They were a bargain. That is
:41:37. > :42:04.quite big. How am I going to get it home?
:42:05. > :42:10.I have got a rabbit! Chelsea is a great place to meet memorable
:42:11. > :42:14.characters, from the pensioners resident in the Royal Hospital who
:42:15. > :42:17.visit the show, through to some of the flamboyant exhibitors who dress
:42:18. > :42:24.camouflage style to blend in with their plants. One of this year's
:42:25. > :42:27.most talked about visitors was the Reverend William McMillan, who met
:42:28. > :42:29.Carol Klein in the Floral Pavilion to reveal a surprising passion and
:42:30. > :42:31.talent. I am here to reveal a Chelsea
:42:32. > :42:37.treasure, something you may not have seen before, deliberately kept
:42:38. > :42:45.secret until the end of the week. It is not a flower, it is not a plant,
:42:46. > :42:54.he is a man. The world-renowned floral artist, the Reverend Mac it
:42:55. > :42:59.is a pleasure to meet you. It is a pleasure to meet you, of course. It
:43:00. > :43:06.is unusual for a reference to be arranging his own flowers. --
:43:07. > :43:10.reverend. How did that start? I decided that when I watched people
:43:11. > :43:16.arrange flowers in church, I could do better. That was not common for a
:43:17. > :43:27.man. They thought there was something wrong somewhere. What do
:43:28. > :43:33.you consider the most important when you're arranging, flowers off Olic?
:43:34. > :43:39.Foliage. You can do in arrangement without flowers. It would almost
:43:40. > :43:43.impossible to do it without foliage. What has foliage got that flowers
:43:44. > :43:49.have not? It is the texture, the colour, the shape. There is so
:43:50. > :43:54.little in our gardens which is indigenous. Anything you pick up has
:43:55. > :44:02.come from somewhere else in the world. It brings the world into the
:44:03. > :44:07.sitting-room. When did this start? When did you put your first leaves
:44:08. > :44:14.in Ahvaz? In the 1950s. Well over 50 years. I have had the great
:44:15. > :44:17.opportunity of being able to arrange and raise money for a charity. I
:44:18. > :44:23.could not do that through creature in. You would not pay to listen to
:44:24. > :44:32.me preach. I would pay to listen to you. Would you? That is very kind.
:44:33. > :44:37.That is how it started. I have been the probably every country in the
:44:38. > :44:41.world, apart from Russia. That is next. Do you think they will have me
:44:42. > :44:47.at my age? I am sure that they would welcome you with open arms. The real
:44:48. > :44:52.tragedy is that you create something beautiful and it is going to die in
:44:53. > :44:56.a few days' time. That is not the important thing, you need to look at
:44:57. > :45:03.it and enjoy it. You get a lot out of it. While the moment lasts. You
:45:04. > :45:11.have got a hostel named after you. What do you think of it? My wife
:45:12. > :45:18.said it was very suitable, small, grey, and with wrinkles! I would
:45:19. > :45:27.like one of my own. Perhaps this will inspire me to arrange flowers
:45:28. > :45:30.of my own. We mustn't forget there's another group of critics here who
:45:31. > :45:34.are just as, if not more important than the judges in forming their own
:45:35. > :45:38.opinons on the show. Yes, it's the visitors who pay good money to get a
:45:39. > :45:40.grandstand view. So what did they make of Chelsea 2014? We went to
:45:41. > :46:10.test the waters. We are loving it. It gives you
:46:11. > :46:16.inspiration for your garden. It is absolutely gorgeous. It is a sight
:46:17. > :46:23.to behold. It is fantastic when there are lots of colours screaming
:46:24. > :46:31.at you from all directions. I really like the grasses, so I will use lots
:46:32. > :46:35.of grass in my planting schemes. The new ideas bring it home to me that
:46:36. > :46:39.there is imagination, especially with the new designers this year. It
:46:40. > :46:44.is amazing what they are coming up with. Trying to take little things
:46:45. > :46:52.back to my own garden is what it is about. My mum is going through a
:46:53. > :46:57.hard time with an inherited eye condition which means she will go
:46:58. > :47:01.blind. Then she was given two eye operations and I wanted to treat her
:47:02. > :47:09.and celebrate the fact she is able to see really well. That is why we
:47:10. > :47:16.are here. And I have got no glasses on and I can see all the flowers and
:47:17. > :47:21.the petals and the labels. UI surrounded by beautiful plants,
:47:22. > :47:25.beautiful trees, fantastic design. It is inspirational and aspirational
:47:26. > :47:33.and there is something for everybody. It is beautiful, I love
:47:34. > :47:37.it. That is fennel and Euphorbia and borage. I can almost smell it. I
:47:38. > :47:45.will try and do that when I get home. I have taken two days, but
:47:46. > :47:50.will try and do that when I get still have not found some of the
:47:51. > :47:57.things I am looking for. I love No Man's Land. I am so glad it's got a
:47:58. > :48:01.gold. Every day is a bonus for me and it is wonderful to be able to
:48:02. > :48:06.come to things like this. Everyone is so enthusiastic. But in the end
:48:07. > :48:09.the fate of the designers lies in the hands of 70 men and women who
:48:10. > :48:12.comprise the RHS judging panel. Their verdict can prove life
:48:13. > :48:15.changing as reputations can be made overnight by their ruling. And
:48:16. > :48:27.there's one award in particular that is most eagerly sought.
:48:28. > :48:31.I have joined the crowds on Main Avenue waiting for the big
:48:32. > :48:37.announcement. Every year one garden is chosen by the RHA 's judges to is
:48:38. > :48:42.received the highest accolade, the best in show award, and only one
:48:43. > :48:52.garden designer can win. Who will it be? I am delighted to
:48:53. > :48:54.garden designer can win. Who will it year's winner is Luciano Giubbilei
:48:55. > :49:07.for his beautiful Laurent Perrier Garden. Congratulations. Well done.
:49:08. > :49:13.Congratulations. You must have had everybody congratulate you. I want
:49:14. > :49:19.to know what it took. What do you think has made this garden better
:49:20. > :49:24.than any others? This is a very special garden for me personally. It
:49:25. > :49:27.is my third garden at Chelsea. With huge garden what I found is you are
:49:28. > :49:35.going deeper in huge garden what I found is you are
:49:36. > :49:41.about yourself. With understanding you need courage to make decisions
:49:42. > :49:46.and to come out of your normal vocabulary and to try and new things
:49:47. > :49:54.and new ideas. What new things have you tried here? This garden would
:49:55. > :50:03.not be like this if it was not for my trajectory. I met James Horner
:50:04. > :50:05.and I worked with him and it has that essence about
:50:06. > :50:12.and I worked with him and it has values and the way we work. What you
:50:13. > :50:16.seem to be saying is you have to develop as a person before your work
:50:17. > :50:21.you can develop. Totally. develop as a person before your work
:50:22. > :50:31.separate that from your work. It is a total trajectory of collective
:50:32. > :50:35.people, of sharing moments, not just in horticulture and flowers, but in
:50:36. > :50:41.moments in talking about something and giving you something. In terms
:50:42. > :50:46.of planting, what did you try and achieve with the flowers you have
:50:47. > :50:54.used? The very first thing for me was the colour, yellow and the
:50:55. > :51:00.plant, Lupin 's. Yellow Lupin 's. Why? When I was at Dexter I was
:51:01. > :51:05.working with Fergus and I was looking at them and they were
:51:06. > :51:11.beautiful plants. It was from that moment when I saw them I really
:51:12. > :51:17.wanted to see them in the beds. The secret of being Best in show is
:51:18. > :51:21.personal development and Lupins. Whilst Luciano Giubbilei took the
:51:22. > :51:29.laurels for RHS Best in show, there was one other award that may stand
:51:30. > :51:33.equal to it in pride, the BBC RHS people's choice for the large show
:51:34. > :51:38.gardens which we have been running all week. The 16 contenders
:51:39. > :51:44.confessed what an honour it would be to take the prize home. Winning it
:51:45. > :51:49.would be an incredible achievement, it would be very flattering. At the
:51:50. > :51:52.end of the day, we are doing a garden at the Chelsea flower show
:51:53. > :52:00.and we want to do well and win critical acclaim. We want it as much
:52:01. > :52:07.for the team as for yourself. If we win the award on top of the gold
:52:08. > :52:13.medal, it is a real bonus. To win it would be unbelievable for me. In
:52:14. > :52:20.terms of accolade and career achievement, it would be up there.
:52:21. > :52:24.The people's choice would be a massive thing. I design guidance for
:52:25. > :52:29.people and it would put the icing on the cake for me. It would be
:52:30. > :52:35.something rather special. It would be lovely to win the people's choice
:52:36. > :52:41.award because it is voted for by people. It would be lovely to win
:52:42. > :52:46.that recognition. To win the award would be fantastic. After a terrible
:52:47. > :52:48.year with flooding, to have a garden to show people how they can
:52:49. > :52:55.year with flooding, to have a garden and store water in their own
:52:56. > :53:00.garden, hopefully will be educational and interesting and
:53:01. > :53:06.people will see that. Well, our revelation came as a bit
:53:07. > :53:11.of a surprise to the recipient. Run us through the planting and the
:53:12. > :53:16.story it is telling. The planting links nicely with the granite. I
:53:17. > :53:24.have tried to create a contrast with the hard and the soft landscaping.
:53:25. > :53:29.It is an effective approach to take. The BBC RHS people's choice award.
:53:30. > :53:34.Thousands and thousands of you have voted and the outright winner is
:53:35. > :53:40.just around the corner. He has absolutely no idea he has won it. He
:53:41. > :53:47.thinks he is doing an interview, but what is really going to happen is we
:53:48. > :53:56.are going to surprise him. Ladies and gentlemen, he is just 29 years
:53:57. > :54:04.old. It is his first time here at the Chelsea flower show. And he has
:54:05. > :54:10.designed a beautiful garden, the Help For Heroes garden for injured
:54:11. > :54:25.soldiers on their road to recovery. Is this a stitch up? The winner of
:54:26. > :54:32.the award is Matthew Keightley. Is this like? Thank you very much. It
:54:33. > :54:41.is very well deserved. What do you make of that? Tens of thousands of
