:00:35. > :00:43.Hello. The 2014 RHS Chelsea Flower Show enters its second Centenary,
:00:44. > :00:50.packed full of new designers and new ideas. We have some of your firm
:00:51. > :00:54.favourites. Also in residence, we are here every day at 3pm, and we
:00:55. > :01:03.will bring you the latest stories on the show, and events supported by NI
:01:04. > :01:08.grams investments. The atmosphere is buzzing and we are ready to kick off
:01:09. > :01:15.in grand style. This is a VIP day when the press get an exclusive view
:01:16. > :01:20.of the gardens while they come to their own conclusions about the
:01:21. > :01:26.different designs. We are giving you an insight into this well loved
:01:27. > :01:29.event. We will focus on the show stoppers and the horticultural stars
:01:30. > :01:40.that have made it this far. Coming up: In a new feature, Rachel will
:01:41. > :01:46.show us how to Hang a plants using ingredients that Chelsea had to
:01:47. > :01:49.offer. We will explore the fresh gardens to find out how gardening
:01:50. > :01:56.can reach and improve young lives will slug mothers feature in a big
:01:57. > :01:59.way at Chelsea. We will talk to Anna Maxwell Martin and her mother as
:02:00. > :02:07.they embark on a tour of the flower show. It is all about having a
:02:08. > :02:12.beautiful garden for you? Yes, but one that does not take too much
:02:13. > :02:17.effort. There is no going back for these designers. Wishing touches
:02:18. > :02:21.were made to their work late last night and early this morning. That
:02:22. > :02:27.deadline has crept up on them and at 7am, is well laid down, hard hats
:02:28. > :02:35.were cast aside, and the teams left their gardens. -- hard were laid
:02:36. > :02:40.down. What does it feel like Monday morning when you step away from the
:02:41. > :02:45.garden? There is trepidation and a sense of relief as well because when
:02:46. > :02:50.you have done that last bit of sweeping and taken away the last
:02:51. > :02:55.dead leaf, your job is done and you can unwind slowly. When we arrived
:02:56. > :03:00.early this morning, I was walking through the gardens and I soared
:03:01. > :03:04.judges assessing them, and there were no designers, they were gone.
:03:05. > :03:11.They were not assessing, they were judging. They assess yesterday. The
:03:12. > :03:22.judges today, they decide whether they are correct. What will they be
:03:23. > :03:33.doing now? Having a drink maybe! They will be emotionally drained.
:03:34. > :03:38.They have to be on their guard the royal party arriving in a moment.
:03:39. > :03:42.One individual amongst them will be Chelsea first timer Matthew Childs.
:03:43. > :03:47.If you were watching last week, you may have seen his story. He has
:03:48. > :03:52.finally made it and on the journey here, he spread his wings in the
:03:53. > :04:06.pursuit of the perfect element for his garden. It is 6:30am, freezing
:04:07. > :04:16.cold, and we are off to Germany to find a river birch for the garden at
:04:17. > :04:21.Chelsea this year. We have arrived at Eindhoven, flown in, and we are
:04:22. > :04:25.going to a tree nursery. We were unable to find these trees in the
:04:26. > :04:29.UK, we looked all over the UK, in lots of different nurseries. We
:04:30. > :04:34.looked in other countries around Europe as well. I have high
:04:35. > :04:39.standards of what I am looking for, and how to achieve the best possible
:04:40. > :04:45.specimen that I can. It so happens that maybe they are here in this
:04:46. > :04:50.particular field in Germany. That is perfect, that is really perfect. And
:04:51. > :04:57.that one. That is absolutely fantastic. We have found the trees.
:04:58. > :05:02.They are great, brilliant. Yes, brilliant! High-5! That is
:05:03. > :05:09.brilliant. That is great, really good. Chelsea is fast approaching
:05:10. > :05:13.and we have got lots of landscaping elements still to finalise. The
:05:14. > :05:25.arches in the garden, and one other key elements is the feature boulder
:05:26. > :05:33.that I won. We are in a farmer 's field. We have something perfect for
:05:34. > :05:36.your walls feature. That is fantastic, and it has all that moss
:05:37. > :05:41.and lichen which is what I am looking for. It is perfect for a
:05:42. > :05:47.spot at the bottom of the garden. It is a slightly different size to the
:05:48. > :05:50.one I had in my head but that is the ring with natural materials, you
:05:51. > :05:56.have to be flexible and I think it will work with my design. We are
:05:57. > :06:00.going to the model maker who is making the arch for the garden. They
:06:01. > :06:08.make lots of props for the theatre and film industry. Hello, Alan. Good
:06:09. > :06:14.to see you. And you. I see my arch has not shrunk since I saw it last
:06:15. > :06:19.week. It is monumental. So, this is the copper cladding that is going on
:06:20. > :06:25.the structure. I am really impressed by how you managed to fold it over
:06:26. > :06:30.the structure and keep the shape. I like the crispness of it. I am on my
:06:31. > :06:35.way to a nursery in Hampshire. They have looked after my plants since
:06:36. > :06:41.October last year. I want to get hold of my plants and have a play
:06:42. > :06:46.with them. Today I have come to meet Robin at nursery. He has brought
:06:47. > :06:50.together lots and lots of plants from all over the place so we have
:06:51. > :06:56.the best to choose from. We four weeks ahead impaired to where we
:06:57. > :07:00.were last year. We were working as fast as we could last year. This
:07:01. > :07:05.year, the plants came out of the tunnel is weeks ago so we were
:07:06. > :07:11.trying to slow them down. I have an element of euphoria now. I have been
:07:12. > :07:20.eyeing my plants up. I will have these at the front of the garden. At
:07:21. > :07:26.the moment, it is all about thinking about plants in how they will mix
:07:27. > :07:28.naturally throughout the garden, rather than isolation. Having
:07:29. > :07:39.top-quality plant is the real difference between medals, I
:07:40. > :07:44.suppose! -- plants. After all that hard work, how was the garden
:07:45. > :07:49.looking now? Well, it has really come together, Matthew. You must be
:07:50. > :07:53.delighted? I am really pleased stop it is so great to see the visual you
:07:54. > :07:59.had in your head become a real garden. These copper arches have
:08:00. > :08:05.changed dramatically, haven't they? They started off as bright copper
:08:06. > :08:10.and we have done lots of magic to them to give them a weathered look.
:08:11. > :08:14.They really feel like they have been here for ages. They really do. What
:08:15. > :08:19.about this, that here for ages. They really do. What
:08:20. > :08:26.successful. We have taken the word, and shot blasted it, and that has
:08:27. > :08:31.brought out the grain to make it look like it is fabric. Standing
:08:32. > :08:37.here, you can really smell it. Yes, you can. What about the planting, it
:08:38. > :08:44.is very surreal, green and white. What is the thinking behind that? I
:08:45. > :08:45.is very surreal, green and white. wanted a mood of tranquillity, and
:08:46. > :08:48.is very surreal, green and white. the tones of green and white, they
:08:49. > :08:55.really do that. They give you a calming feel. Yes, it is very
:08:56. > :08:59.restful here. It is also the structure, it is very big and bold.
:09:00. > :09:09.I like structure, it is very big and bold.
:09:10. > :09:15.lots of planting to balance the strong structure. We have strong
:09:16. > :09:25.specimen trees to bring the scale of the arches into place. You have made
:09:26. > :09:29.lots of vignette as well. There is always something going on here. I am
:09:30. > :09:36.hoping that as you walk through this always something going on here. I am
:09:37. > :09:38.part, it zigzags, it is a bit like a gallery, so you can see different
:09:39. > :09:48.changes in the mood and the planting, and little sculptural
:09:49. > :09:52.elements to tease you. At the front, you have much more dramatic and the
:09:53. > :10:05.boat colours, like the blues and the claret as well. -- blue colours. It
:10:06. > :10:07.was the spring that inspired me. There is some anticipation that
:10:08. > :10:12.there will eventually be a film on this, and that led to bees Regency
:10:13. > :10:18.colours at the front. It certainly works extremely well and you must be
:10:19. > :10:25.pleased with what you created. I am happy and privilege. Thank you.
:10:26. > :10:30.Now, the gardens here have been scrutinised by the R HS judges.
:10:31. > :10:35.Every detail of the overall design will have been pored over, and
:10:36. > :10:45.tomorrow we will bring you news of the final decisions. We want to know
:10:46. > :10:47.what use think. We will provide a closer look of the gardens so you
:10:48. > :10:52.can judge for yourselves. You will be able to vote your favourite
:10:53. > :10:57.garden later in the week in the People's voice award. There are 16
:10:58. > :11:15.in total and here is a taste of the first five. First up, is the Tal
:11:16. > :11:26.afar -- Telegraph Garden. It has a hint of modernism. It has a strong
:11:27. > :11:33.structure and has a strong composition of shapes, layered with
:11:34. > :11:44.plants, and it has some grace in the whole composition. Our second garden
:11:45. > :11:57.is the M Angie garden, designed by Cleve West. -- M It is a refuge.
:11:58. > :12:04.It was built in the desert thousands of years ago as a refuge from the
:12:05. > :12:10.hostile desert environment, and has not changed since then. Our gardens
:12:11. > :12:19.are sanctuaries where we can go and think about life and enjoy wildlife
:12:20. > :12:26.and nature. Next up, the Homebase Garden. The designer has worked
:12:27. > :12:30.meticulously to create a series of experiences through sound, colours
:12:31. > :12:37.and textures. He wants to celebrate the life we have travelled. It is
:12:38. > :12:45.about rocks, water, somewhere where the family can spend time together,
:12:46. > :12:52.but somewhere where they can create new memories together. If you strip
:12:53. > :12:58.it back, the reality is that all we have is our memories. The next
:12:59. > :13:05.garden is the Massachusetts to-macro garden, inspired by the North
:13:06. > :13:09.American coastline. We are trying to convey the natural beauty of the
:13:10. > :13:14.wild coastline of Cape Cod in Massachusetts. What we are trying to
:13:15. > :13:22.do within the garden is allow people to experience the natural landscapes
:13:23. > :13:27.we saw here. It is the natural sea shore of Cape Cod, and we are trying
:13:28. > :13:34.to make it as true as what you would see if you were visiting there. The
:13:35. > :13:45.last garden today is the Cloudy Bay flat -- Garden. There was a dialogue
:13:46. > :13:51.between the vertical bold elements of Oak and the soft, sumptuous
:13:52. > :13:57.planting. We are trying to relate the various sensations one gets from
:13:58. > :14:04.drinking wine into a visual feast in the garden. The idea of looking at
:14:05. > :14:07.Rothbury red and black currants, and deep purple, will deliver a
:14:08. > :14:17.sensation which, hopefully, people will link into. -- Rothbury red.
:14:18. > :14:22.You both won gold here at Chelsea, what are the government is looking
:14:23. > :14:28.for in comparison to the judges? There is a big difference between
:14:29. > :14:32.the two. The judges look at the criteria set out by the designer,
:14:33. > :14:38.according to the brief. That is what the designer is judged against. It
:14:39. > :14:44.becomes mechanical and objective. As viewers, we look at a garden and we
:14:45. > :14:48.consider, if I threw back the curtains every morning, and saw
:14:49. > :14:54.this, would I fall in love with it every time I saw it, would it become
:14:55. > :15:01.a vision of paradise? Do I want this garden? Yes, exactly. How should we
:15:02. > :15:06.judge, and Marie? Should we look at the gardening, the composition, the
:15:07. > :15:08.structure? We should look at every single element in that space and
:15:09. > :15:18.encourage innovative design. Chelsea should be leading the world.
:15:19. > :15:23.Everything should be perfect. When we are voting as a viewer, should we
:15:24. > :15:27.be pushing boundaries? You go with something that you are comfortable
:15:28. > :15:32.with. Do not step outside of the boundaries of comfort. It is a very
:15:33. > :15:37.personal journey. Gardens are personal. Of course. Chris is
:15:38. > :16:13.qualified to say that. How many gardens have you had here?
:16:14. > :16:30.medal? If so, send us one picture to my Chelsea at the BBC. Can you beat
:16:31. > :16:35.this? Keep sending in photographs. Every year exhibitors in the great
:16:36. > :16:39.Pavilion produce exceptional plants. Rachel de Thame and Christine
:16:40. > :16:43.Walkeden are seeking out the best. Rachel will look at displays to
:16:44. > :16:47.reveal surprising combinations as she devises planting recipes. This
:16:48. > :16:53.year, Christine will be busy working her way through the pavilion to
:16:54. > :16:57.unveil her top ten plants, among the new plant is being launched the
:16:58. > :17:10.first time at the show. It's Christine with the first of her
:17:11. > :17:14.favourites. The Chelsea Flower Show, this is
:17:15. > :17:26.like being a child in a sweet shop, for the gardener. For me, the jewel
:17:27. > :17:32.in the crown of the Alpines. Some of them grow above the tree line, but
:17:33. > :17:39.the majority grow beneath that and flowed down into the meadows and
:17:40. > :17:43.streams. Exquisitely beautiful. Over 100 species on this stand alone.
:17:44. > :17:49.There is an Alpine for every situation. When they are as
:17:50. > :17:57.beautiful as this, my goodness, have you got a choice.
:17:58. > :18:08.I am with David Rankin. You have grown alpines for a long time, but
:18:09. > :18:09.what makes them special? We like walking in the mountains. We still
:18:10. > :18:12.can. what makes them special? We like
:18:13. > :18:17.walking in the mountains. We What we are trying to express is the
:18:18. > :18:22.pleasure of the mountain scenery. We hope the public will be inspired to
:18:23. > :18:26.grow to the mountains -- go to the mountains and grow the plants
:18:27. > :18:31.themselves. They are mountain plants. They grow in rocky places.
:18:32. > :18:34.They get plenty of sunlight but it rains often say they like
:18:35. > :18:42.well-drained conditions in the garden will stop others we just put
:18:43. > :18:55.in the ground and they grow. Why are you introducing a new saxifrage?
:18:56. > :19:00.This has up writes stems, which is straight and it fits in a different
:19:01. > :19:11.position. It is a lovely plant. I think it will be successful. Thank
:19:12. > :19:18.you. I hope so. One of the great joys of Chelsea is
:19:19. > :19:28.the Lavender stands, grown for the beautiful subtle flowers and the
:19:29. > :19:35.rich fragrant foliage. Simon, this is a small selection of the number
:19:36. > :19:39.of lavenders you grow. We have around 40 varieties in the stand and
:19:40. > :19:46.400 in the collection. What makes it so special? I developed a wonderful
:19:47. > :19:51.passion for them. They are versatile, you can have them as
:19:52. > :19:57.specimen plants, as hedges, you can distil them to make oil. They are an
:19:58. > :20:05.all-round great plant. What new plants do you have? We have heavenly
:20:06. > :20:09.angel. The great thing about these is they are short, late flowering
:20:10. > :20:16.and this is the first time they have been available on the market. They
:20:17. > :20:22.retain a cracking scent of the late flowering Lavenders but in the
:20:23. > :20:28.shorter form. Two glorious groups of plants, but there will be more
:20:29. > :20:34.during the week. Christine, what do you think of the
:20:35. > :20:45.show? As normal it is ooh! Nowhere else in
:20:46. > :20:52.the world do you get so many experienced growers together. I
:20:53. > :20:56.think it is absolute magic. A lot of growers come back each year, can
:20:57. > :21:04.they make it better? The same plant and interior -- material, but
:21:05. > :21:09.different space, positions, you can use the same plant every year and
:21:10. > :21:15.the exhibitor knows how to make it sparkle, even if it is the same.
:21:16. > :21:21.What has stood out for you? The stand with the subtlety blending the
:21:22. > :21:27.foliage, darks, flowing through to the lighter and the optimism of the
:21:28. > :21:31.stand. And Beatrix Potter. The herbs. I am back to being a kid,
:21:32. > :21:42.when I was tiny, wandering into the allotment. Some blooms will last for
:21:43. > :21:46.12 months of the year. Let's have something that is sustainable, that
:21:47. > :21:53.goes through, that gives the Gardner value for a long period. And as the
:21:54. > :22:00.colour turn you on as much as the leaves? Subtlety of colour, that is
:22:01. > :22:04.glorious. Let's have a good bottom and colour that takes the interest
:22:05. > :22:13.all the way through. We will see more of you during the week.
:22:14. > :22:18.It is not just horticulturists that come to Chelsea, people from all
:22:19. > :22:23.walks of life come here and Monday is about the VIP guests. This week
:22:24. > :22:28.we will bring you familiar faces, whose mothers have inspired them to
:22:29. > :22:33.take an interest. One person trying to emulate her mother's skills in
:22:34. > :22:38.the garden is Anna Maxwell Martin. I think you picked the best day. We
:22:39. > :22:46.have the best weather. It is beautiful. Was your mother
:22:47. > :22:50.instrumental in inspiring you? It is not so much gardening, I grew up in
:22:51. > :22:55.the countryside and the garden felt like an extension of the home. When
:22:56. > :23:02.you are younger, it is about the grass, and playing out. At that time
:23:03. > :23:08.they were devoted to growing things such as rhubarb, and tomatoes, which
:23:09. > :23:13.we were forced to eat, and now I hate! As my parents got older, they
:23:14. > :23:19.focused on making a beautiful garden for themselves. They were inspired
:23:20. > :23:28.by a trip to Japan and they have a Japanese garden. The front garden is
:23:29. > :23:34.very English will stop my mother is devoted to the garden. It is a
:23:35. > :23:41.lovely extension to the home. She has a scientific background, does
:23:42. > :23:46.that influence her? I do not know. It is more that... She lives on her
:23:47. > :23:51.own now, and you get so much enjoyment from a beautiful garden.
:23:52. > :23:55.She now likes a lot of colour in the garden. My husband likes just green.
:23:56. > :24:04.I am always saying, can we have some more colour? You live in London.
:24:05. > :24:09.What is your garden like? It is very small. I have young children, I
:24:10. > :24:17.would like a huge garden so they can run out. We make the most of it. We
:24:18. > :24:21.grow herbs. My husband does more of the cooking so it is a passion for
:24:22. > :24:28.him. But they look beautiful and I love them in their own right, herbs.
:24:29. > :24:33.We have magnolia, which suffers, because of snails. We have Jasmine
:24:34. > :24:40.and things that smell really nice. As an actress, are you not at home
:24:41. > :24:49.as often? I have a personal Gardner. My husband. A personal slave. You
:24:50. > :24:54.can come back and enjoy it and Potter when you have time. Now the
:24:55. > :25:01.children are older, we have weekends in the garden and do work. The
:25:02. > :25:10.children wander around, usefully picking heads of the flowers! Do not
:25:11. > :25:14.touch the roses! Get them involved at a young age. You have been around
:25:15. > :25:24.with your mother. We can see how you got on.
:25:25. > :25:40.This is lovely. I do not know what they are. Do not touch. Those are
:25:41. > :25:49.irises. I like the idea of a wild area. And then the more formal area.
:25:50. > :25:56.My memory of growing up is playing in the garden. It was functional,
:25:57. > :26:02.the children, and we grew things to eat. And then gardens in our lives
:26:03. > :26:08.have changed will stop as we have got older it has become more about
:26:09. > :26:22.having a beautiful garden for you. One does not take up too much time
:26:23. > :26:33.and effort. In they smell lovely. This is garlic. You have these in
:26:34. > :26:43.your garden. That is really strong. Put it on like a perfect! Anna's
:26:44. > :26:49.garden is small, in London, and because they have children they have
:26:50. > :26:53.a patio, grass and a border. We have Jasmine, magnolia and bamboo. But
:26:54. > :27:02.you have a really beautiful, big Arden. I have two, one is grass, and
:27:03. > :27:09.the other is Japanese-style. And plastic squirrels. I have not got
:27:10. > :27:25.plastic screws. You used to have them. -- squirrels. That is because
:27:26. > :27:30.you put them there. I love these buttercups. I like this, the
:27:31. > :27:42.cantilever, and above there, it is herbs. I like the reflections from
:27:43. > :27:46.the water feature. It makes you think about your own home and space
:27:47. > :27:51.and how you would reflect that if you lived in the countryside in the
:27:52. > :27:55.way you live. You would want to marry timber and stone and water,
:27:56. > :28:01.and reflections and this effortless move into the garden will stop it is
:28:02. > :28:17.inspirational how your home could be, not just your garden. And look,
:28:18. > :28:25.they have a bug hotel. That is the only thing I would change. You would
:28:26. > :28:29.keep everything else. We will have more mothers throughout
:28:30. > :28:33.the week and tomorrow Nicki Chapman will meet Julian Clary and his
:28:34. > :28:39.mother. Chelsea is all about cutting edge style and friend ideas on a
:28:40. > :28:43.grand scale. On close inspection, the devil is in the detail. Rachel,
:28:44. > :28:48.the devil is in the detail. there are plants and flowers everywhere.
:28:49. > :28:55.It is almost impossible to pick something. You come in and you
:28:56. > :29:04.think, I love this, I love this, it is almost too much. I have created
:29:05. > :29:08.planting recipes. It is not to eat, it is looking at choice plants,
:29:09. > :29:13.which worked together in terms of colour, texture and shape. We will
:29:14. > :29:18.see them on the show gardens so we can get the idea on how they work
:29:19. > :29:25.together. You do not need hundreds of things, you can have a select
:29:26. > :29:36.palette. Some use just three, all, four. I will look forward to that.
:29:37. > :29:37.This week, Rachel has devised plant recipes to share with viewers.
:29:38. > :29:39.Something to try out at home. recipes to share with viewers.
:29:40. > :30:00.first of these is nouvelle cuisine. Nouvelle cuisine is all about
:30:01. > :30:07.selecting Nouvelle cuisine is all about
:30:08. > :30:08.ingredients and combining them to make a dish that pleases the
:30:09. > :30:12.senses, make a dish that pleases the
:30:13. > :30:46.texture and shape are equally important.
:30:47. > :30:55.It's like impoverished hillsides in full sun. Those are the conditions
:30:56. > :31:06.you can grow it in in your garden. Equally, at home in those hot dry
:31:07. > :31:13.conditions, is this. In the wild, it comes from the Mediterranean and
:31:14. > :31:18.grows in the olive groves, and you get a magnificent magenta colouring.
:31:19. > :31:31.It is strong and powerful, and this one, you can cut it for a vase. So,
:31:32. > :31:41.we have the key ingredients and we need something to tie it together.
:31:42. > :31:46.This has an acid green flower. It has a long flowering season, from
:31:47. > :31:51.May to the summer, and in the autumn, it also has good colour. So,
:31:52. > :31:55.fantastic at earning its keep in the garden, and I think it is brilliant
:31:56. > :32:14.to combine other plants together with. Here we are on the daily
:32:15. > :32:19.Telegraph Garden, and all those gardens are placed together in
:32:20. > :32:31.perfection. There is no leaf out of place. We have strong pinpricks of
:32:32. > :32:35.colour, so it is a pretty green garden and they really sing. We have
:32:36. > :32:40.religious individual ingredients coming together to make it wish
:32:41. > :32:50.which, if we were in a restaurant, would the gourmet restaurant. --
:32:51. > :32:55.would be a gourmet restaurant. Tomorrow, Rachel brings us a
:32:56. > :33:00.Mediterranean garden as she goes in search of plants more suitable for
:33:01. > :33:08.those hot spots. Last night, we had a look at a celebrity florist and he
:33:09. > :33:14.has found time in his busy diary to join us today. How are you? Very
:33:15. > :33:19.well. I enjoyed this time of year because we get a masterclass in
:33:20. > :33:22.floral design and arranging. Today, it is different because there is a
:33:23. > :33:31.new pupil here. Margaret Robertson, thank you for joining us. You are a
:33:32. > :33:37.Chelsea veteran. How many years? Quite a number. You produce some of
:33:38. > :33:43.Chelsea's best vegetables. They should taste as good as they look.
:33:44. > :33:49.How do you feel about the design? Out of my comfort zone! Flowers and
:33:50. > :33:55.vegetables together, out of my comfort zone. Simon, we are in your
:33:56. > :34:00.professional hands. We have a basket, a dull basket, and an
:34:01. > :34:08.assortment of vegetables. Asparagus, carrots. Can you use vegetables as a
:34:09. > :34:15.great... It is a great way to cover a container but it is a great hole
:34:16. > :34:21.Marge to Margaret. I had a sneak peek yesterday. The pyramids she was
:34:22. > :34:27.creating, I know she will be a great arranger. Margaret, you must have a
:34:28. > :34:39.creative eye. The trouble is, doing something like this, each vegetable
:34:40. > :34:45.is in its own space. They are mixed up together, all different. We are
:34:46. > :34:50.breaking the rules. Absolutely. We Love rule breaking! He is a
:34:51. > :34:59.maverick! We can do this at home, can we? Yes, we can. I have gone
:35:00. > :35:03.around the fruit, the wire has gone into the basket, you can see it
:35:04. > :35:09.there. I have poked the stem into the outside and press it down. They
:35:10. > :35:18.are secure, they are going nowhere. Clusters of vegetables. Some
:35:19. > :35:22.carrots, I may take into them later. Any of them worked really well and
:35:23. > :35:27.they are easy to get hold of. If you are not growing them yourself, which
:35:28. > :35:32.you will be because you are going to buy Margaret's, you can always get
:35:33. > :35:37.them from your local garden centres or farmer's market. Margaret, you
:35:38. > :35:45.are very quick. You're looking rather confident. Thank you! Don't
:35:46. > :35:50.let me stop you. Let's see how you get on in a few minutes time.
:35:51. > :35:54.Chelsea is about excellence in planting but provides a platform
:35:55. > :35:58.where conceptual thinking pushes the boundary of garden design. This is
:35:59. > :36:03.evident in the fresh gardens at Chelsea. This category offers
:36:04. > :36:07.designers a chance to express themselves in the medium of
:36:08. > :36:19.conceptual design. We have taken a look at two of the exhibitors at the
:36:20. > :36:21.show this year. Some of the gardens in this category tackles and
:36:22. > :36:31.challenging issues, and this is one of them. This is the new reach out
:36:32. > :36:34.garden, designed by John Everest. It centres on a troubled teenager
:36:35. > :36:41.reaching out for help. The troubles are represented by this Stonewall.
:36:42. > :36:46.The only thing she leaves behind in this wall is her shadow. We have a
:36:47. > :36:51.tranquil river which reaches throughout the whole place. In a
:36:52. > :37:02.path of various obstacles we have these gigantic stones. She is moving
:37:03. > :37:09.through her life, supported by this beautiful landscape. John only uses
:37:10. > :37:12.two plants in the garden. We have lemon thyme and rosemary. They
:37:13. > :37:17.support the girl, throughout her journey. They are healing and
:37:18. > :37:31.restorative, delivering promise and hope for around the place. John has
:37:32. > :37:52.taken a challenging brief and made it into something very special. Now,
:37:53. > :37:54.this is the first site-specific piece that has been at Chelsea. It
:37:55. > :38:09.may just look like a crate, piece that has been at Chelsea. It
:38:10. > :38:17.and have a look at this. This called the Promise, and harks back to the
:38:18. > :38:22.Ethiopian famine of 30 years ago where much needed medical supplies
:38:23. > :38:26.and aid was dropped into the area. Barren spaces in Ethiopia are now
:38:27. > :38:35.becoming productive areas where people are growing food, and that is
:38:36. > :38:42.referenced in this garden. We have lettuce, tomatoes, chilies, coffee,
:38:43. > :38:48.so the planting will support the people who need it. Now, the garden
:38:49. > :38:53.is not infinite in its plant varieties but these mirrors reflect
:38:54. > :38:59.the spaces within it. We have slowly spinning suspended planters which
:39:00. > :39:03.add movement to the space. Look sideways and down, and the landscape
:39:04. > :39:12.is infinite. It is amazing, and frankly, I love it! Margaret
:39:13. > :39:17.is infinite. It is amazing, and Simon, you really are gaining to
:39:18. > :39:20.create something here. Yes, we have our foliage going in and we have
:39:21. > :39:26.created our basket which we have clad in vegetables using bundles of
:39:27. > :39:28.wire to attach the artichokes, the asparagus, the beans,
:39:29. > :39:35.wire to attach the artichokes, the can see the Moss as well. Moss is
:39:36. > :39:43.great to fill in the gaps and it is a nice filler. You used parsley as
:39:44. > :39:50.well. Yes. How you doing, Margaret? It looks impressive. Would you try
:39:51. > :39:56.this at home? I think so, maybe at a local church. I could do something
:39:57. > :40:00.at harvest time. This is going to be the creme de la creme stop perhaps
:40:01. > :40:04.we can do it on a smaller bases at home. You could wrap it around a
:40:05. > :40:11.tumbler. A rubber band, home. You could wrap it around a
:40:12. > :40:20.perhaps. You have got hydrangeas here. They are a great filler. They
:40:21. > :40:28.are so big and ingenuous that they really fill in spaces. A good time
:40:29. > :40:34.of year two source them? A divine time. As you walk around gardens,
:40:35. > :40:39.they are starting to pop open and end up as this magnificent flower. I
:40:40. > :40:45.have a dilemma. I want to see them in my garden but do I need to cut
:40:46. > :40:47.them up at the millibars? Buy them from a good English grower and enjoy
:40:48. > :40:56.them in your garden. -- do I need to from a good English grower and enjoy
:40:57. > :41:02.cut them and put them in a vase? Margaret, you are motoring on! The
:41:03. > :41:09.roses give a different texture. The way you are cutting them is at an
:41:10. > :41:17.angle. If you have time, you need to split the stem. Because they are
:41:18. > :41:24.woody, they can take up water. We have flower foam at the base and
:41:25. > :41:32.chicken wire at the top. Margaret, look at that, had you think you have
:41:33. > :41:38.done? Oh, rubbish! I think you are the perfect people for someone who
:41:39. > :41:50.has not done it well before. Simon? Margaret is a natural! Margaret, are
:41:51. > :41:53.you inspired? Yes! We will find out why Margaret is a class act
:41:54. > :42:05.tomorrow, just like a flower arranging stop -- her flower
:42:06. > :42:11.arranging. Your planting brilliant as ever! I cannot believe how quiet
:42:12. > :42:17.the gardens and Avenue is now stop everybody has left. Everybody has
:42:18. > :42:24.been kicked out because the Royal Family are coming stop they were
:42:25. > :42:30.politely asked to leave. How you feeling, Cleve? I see the hat is
:42:31. > :42:37.still in place. You're not going to wear that for the Royal Family? I'm
:42:38. > :42:44.going to go and get changed. Are you going to be suited and booted? I
:42:45. > :42:50.have a suit lined up. You have the Majesty the Queen, have you met?
:42:51. > :42:57.Yes, she has been in my garden a few times. She has never been in my
:42:58. > :43:03.garden! Who decides which gardens they go in and what is the adequate?
:43:04. > :43:09.I know some people write to the Palace but I know they often come
:43:10. > :43:14.round. All the different parties split up and take a different tour
:43:15. > :43:21.of the show. If she does not come in my garden, I will get at complex.
:43:22. > :43:28.What will you say if she comes it? I may ask to plant a pansy. Really?!
:43:29. > :43:35.Will you be nervous? No, she is good to talk to. She is going to love it,
:43:36. > :43:41.all the best. We have more for you this evening where Sophie Ray Werth
:43:42. > :43:49.will be joined by Joe Swift at 7:30pm on BBC One. We will be back
:43:50. > :44:03.here tomorrow at 3pm, see you then, goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye.
:44:04. > :44:06.A new era blooms at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show,
:44:07. > :44:10.with a fresh crop of exciting young designers.
