It's Monday, we are in the horticultural heart | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
of London and once again The Chelsea Flower Show | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
The press, celebrities and Her Majesty the Queen and VIPs | :00:16. | :00:19. | |

Welcome to the most famous flower show on earth. | :00:22. | :00:39. | |
It's Monday, we are in the horticultural heart | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
of London and once again The Chelsea Flower Show | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
The press, celebrities and Her Majesty the Queen and VIPs | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
are here to witness it all as they come together | :00:50. | :00:51. | |
Welcome to the most famous flower show on earth. | :00:52. | :01:24. | |
Welcome back to the RHS Chelsea Flower show, | :01:25. | :01:26. | |
an event supported by M Investments. | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
The show kicked off in style first thing earlier today as Royals | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
and rock stars strutted the Chelsea catwalk. | :01:35. | :01:35. | |
And there was plenty to keep them entertained. | :01:36. | :01:44. | |
With a show ground packed with the world's media the gardens | :01:45. | :01:46. | |
and exhibits threw all they had into press stunts to make | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
They do seem to come up with more and more outlandish ideas every year | :01:50. | :03:06. | |
just to grab the headlines. They want that front page, it's worth a | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
lot. It is. Well, beyond the publicity stunts | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
there's a serious competition Despite what they might say, | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
every exhibitor and every garden designer wants to leave | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
Chelsea with one of these. They may be small but they are worth | :03:16. | :03:29. | |
an awful lot. You could have told me, I would have brought my name. | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
Have I told you I've got one? You have actually, many times. | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
All day today the RHS judges have been out in force assessing each | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
individual exhibit and garden in minute detail. | :03:40. | :03:40. | |
Not a petal or leaf can be out of place at the crucial | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
So if the plant doesn't flower until tomorrow it's too late! | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
If the plant goes over today it could be ruined and it's this | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
precision timing that can mean the difference between gold | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
We'll have all the results of the judges appraisal tomorrow | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
when we reveal which of the 17 large show gardens have won gold and most | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
importantly which has been awarded the prestigious RHS | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
So who do we think is set to dominate the | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
Here are some gardens oozing Chelsea magic. Let's have a look. Last year | :04:14. | :04:28. | |
Charlie Bond got a silver medal, he would so love to get gold this year. | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
He has put a lot of work into this garden. It's funny it takes a | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
Melbourne-based Garden designer to bring the most English of gardens | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
here to us at Chelsea. The design is incredibly formal, minimalist | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
almost. Plenty of structure. These wonderful Cubist form bean hedges. | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
Running down the steps and round the lawn at the bottom, dear. The brief | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
is for a professional couple to get home and relax and enjoy their own | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
garden. They'd definitely need a gardener to look after it, though, | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
quite high maintenance. All this box needs clipping, hedges need | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
clipping. There are not particularly perennial English plants that we | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
expect to see and that's what I like about this garden. Things like the | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
Luke Daniels need specialist care to grow in these borders. | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
He gets two minutes to talk to the judges in his assessment, as long as | :05:25. | :05:33. | |
he gets that point across, that the plants need specific care, then he's | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
made them aware of the issue. That gives him every chance of winning | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
that elusive gold. Well, Matthew Wilson would dearly love gold this | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
year. He got a silver guilt for his first show Garden at Chelsea last | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
year and he is back with his A Garden for Yorkshire. It's inspired | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
by the great East window at York Minster. It is the sort of plants | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
you would find growing in gardens in Yorkshire, and the colours that are | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
in the stained-glass window behind me very much picked out, the irises | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
in particular, soft blue, deep black, the bearded Jane Phillips | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
over there. Really beautiful planting. But if you come inside | :06:19. | :06:24. | |
here there is a very different feel indeed. So, you take a seat inside | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
the structure which is the greatest window on its side, and you turn | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
around here and its accompanying the different outlook. No colour, there. | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
Just the beautiful green of that oak tree, the ferns. Very peaceful. A | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
totally different aspect to this garden and a very nice place to sit | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
and contemplate life. From Yorkshire to a very different climate, this | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
garden is designed by inspiration from the landscape of Jordan, where | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
Hugo Bugg has visited many times. Hugo is one of the young designers, | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
and he won a gold medal for his first garden heather, and he has | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
created a very contemporary scene here. This wonderful rock formation, | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
incredibly geometric forms running through the garden, also taken into | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
the boundary over here. What I love is this triangle right in the | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
middle. There is water which of course is a very valuable resource | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
in Jordan. It just slightly ripples across the top, giving a lovely | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
movement and a reflective quality to the space. The plants are very | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
unusual. Hugo collected a lot of seeds, grew them in the UK, | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
experimented and saw what would come into flour at this time of year for | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
the Chelsea Flower Show. He is combined with lovely red poppies, | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
blue Lupin pins, some interesting classes as well. The pines really | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
set the scene, giving plenty of structure. I would be surprised if | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
Hugo didn't get his second gold medal here at Chelsea, I think it's | :07:54. | :07:58. | |
a fabulous garden. There's a really good thought process behind it, and | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
the execution, well, it's faultless. Of course Chelsea is not | :08:02. | :08:04. | |
all about the show gardens. The Great Pavilion is the beating | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
heart of this event, home to over 100 exhibitors | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
and they too are competing Welcome to horticulture's big top, | :08:10. | :08:24. | |
where for 103 years the great Pavilion has been the place to see | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
the world's best plants at peak perfection in exquisitely designed | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
exhibits. And this year is absolutely no exception. Because | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
some of the growers here are really giving the big show gardens outside | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
a run for their money in the publicity stunts Department. People | :08:42. | :08:49. | |
have a tendency to think of gardens as natural, but really we use | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
natural ingredients to create artificial theatre, and there's no | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
garden that is more theatrical than this, tell me about it. Well, it's a | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
massive theatrical jigsaw, to take people on a journey on to the most | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
gorgeous 1920s British Pullman carriage. You come out and all of a | :09:06. | :09:13. | |
sudden you are in Malaysia. 60 feet long, 38 tonnes. So you go in, pop | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
out on the other side and really feel like you have taken the | :09:18. | :09:21. | |
journey. I hope so, and I hope it encourages people to think more | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
about what they can do in their room gardens. What are your highlights? I | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
love the tree ferns, the hairy tree fern is fantastic and very unusual. | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
It has scales on it. And the Silver tree fern, we have probably got the | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
only two left in Europe now. You've got all of that, and dancing girls. | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
Chelsea is all about drama, excitement. If you are looking for | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
that, this stand has more than anybody. | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
Sara Emily has created a massive exhibit, here. It's 22 metres by 12 | :09:55. | :10:04. | |
metres, which easily makes it one of the biggest gardens of the show. | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
Bigger than most of the things on Main Avenue. It's got 4000 plants, | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
towering trees, beautiful modernist Pavilion, and a lake. For me this is | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
a game changer for the pavilion. Tell me about your stand. I never | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
seen anything like a full on movie set like this. That's very kind. We | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
were on the innovation programme this year for the RHS, expected to | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
think outside the box. So I ran with it, as you can see. The Mayan | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
pyramid here represents a South American theme, Guatemala, | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
rainforests, which is exactly where they come from. Are really nifty way | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
of explaining that. A lot of people don't necessarily know where they | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
come from. And these were eaten at one point. Yes, the flowers are | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
edible, very much like Mr Horsham. -- very much like nasturtium flower. | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
And you built this all yourself? Yes, this is insulation material. | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
And you carve it? All you need to do is press down hard with them | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
interesting shaped instrument to make the design. Tell me about the | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
collection. We have the national collection, up to 200 different | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
varieties. The special ones, my father and me breed, we have been | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
naming them for five years. The first one was named after my | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
grandmother, Millie Howden. And this one is named after my son, Thomas | :11:35. | :11:40. | |
Jackson. You have your whole family surrounding. We do indeed, yes. | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
Heads aren't just been turned here in the great Pavilion. Sophie has | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
been out to the Showgrounds to see who is attracting attention. The | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
gardens and the designers are the stars, but it draws celebrities, | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
too. Those who want to see and be seen. I love the Englishness of | :12:01. | :12:10. | |
Chelsea. I love the fact you can come here and sort of revel in all | :12:11. | :12:19. | |
the sort of that eccentricity of being in this. The fact you can just | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
a talking about flowers to a complete stranger, I love that. The | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
pavilion is fantastic because I take lots of photographs, great | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
inspiration for printed textiles for me. Lovely colours. Just lots of | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
energy. Jane Dame Judi Dench, great to see you | :12:35. | :12:44. | |
here, are you a regular? Not at all, this is the second or third time I | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
have been. And what has inspired you here today? You have been walking | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
round the hours. Well, it's just people's imagination. You see | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
something and you think, oh, that's wonderful, that's what I must do. Or | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
you see something, your mind gets completely bombarded. But I just | :13:06. | :13:14. | |
love a wild flower meadow, is what I'm trying to create. So I want some | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
tips on that. Although it sounds easy, it is not an easy thing to do. | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
There are some amazing vegetable displays that are in the main | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
pavilion, they've blown my mind. I didn't realise I could get that | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
excited about potatoes, but I can, apparently, so it's great. I'm a | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
spasmodic gardener. I suddenly get full of enthusiasm. And then I | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
forget. And I go out there about four months later and look at it and | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
it's all dead. I had a rabbit in the garden, bless him, Warren, and he | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
didn't help with the foliage situation. He's now gone to the | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
great Warren in the sky. I'm determined this year that I'm going | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
to really have some colour that isn't just busy Lizzie 's. It's a | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
cultural highlight. It makes you proud to be British. We love our | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
gardens. There is something ridiculously heartfelt about it. I | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
came here with my wife and within 30 minutes we changed our minds about | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
what our garden should be at least seven times. I just think the | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
creativity and imagination is extraordinary. I love design in all | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
its various forms. It's a great place for innovation, for people to | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
really let their imaginations run away. What I'm enjoying most about | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
Chelsea this year, it's my first time here, and my screen husband is | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
here every year, so this year I've got one up on him. Marlene for once | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
gets one over on him, so I'm very excited about that. I like gardens. | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
I have no ability. But more and more each year I enjoy sitting in the | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
garden and visiting other people's gardens. I am turning into that | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
person. I will drive a long way to look at a National Trust garden. We | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
enjoy the geometric gardens, the artificial gardens, the ones planted | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
to look natural. We enjoy just before there, imagination and | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
humour, don't we? We have just seen some mini Einstein 's walking around | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
the mathematical gardens, it was so sweet. | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
The grammar of the big show gardens might be the first draw for the | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
crowds but there are also the smaller designs, said like jewels on | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
either side of the showground. The first seven categories are the fresh | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
gardens. These are conceptual in nature. They often divide opinion | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
and they can raise awareness of important issues. One lady who have | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
done that is Juliet Sergeant with her Modern Slavery Bill I can. What | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
a daunting brief, take us through your inspiration for the garden. I | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
wanted to express the idea that modern slavery is hidden behind | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
closed doors. I came up to Chelsea to get some inspiration and walk | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
around and really I love that kind of iconic Georgian streets with the | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
front doors and the railings. It struck me that the railings can form | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
a prison as well and that is what I wanted to use. It is so shocking | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
that this is something happening here and now in this country. What | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
kind of numbers are involved? Well of course it is a hidden crime so | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
their estimates but we think around 27 million people worldwide and here | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
in the UK around 43% of people who are in slavery are enforced | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
destitution, mainly women. And 36% of the people who are in slavery in | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
the UK are in forced labour, held captive and forced to work without | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
pay. There are a great many references to modern slavery within | :16:55. | :17:00. | |
the garden. Tell me about the tree. William Wilberforce was a politician | :17:01. | :17:07. | |
in the 1800s who brought the first anti-slavery Bill through | :17:08. | :17:10. | |
Parliament. He was standing underneath an oak tree when he made | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
that decision and these saplings beneath the tree represent the work | :17:15. | :17:17. | |
of people who are campaigning against modern slavery. And there | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
were grown by people who had experienced slavery. That leaves out | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
into gloriously colourful bunting. I wanted to create a contrast between | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
the outside of the garden, representing our lives, freedom. And | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
the inside, where the atmosphere is different because it is an enclosed | :17:39. | :17:43. | |
and captive space. And of course we will see you later on BBC Two at | :17:44. | :17:54. | |
eight o'clock. I'm here was someone who has been | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
very busy since early this morning. James Alexander Sinclair, an RHS | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
judge. How do you decide which gardens get | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
gold? It involves a lot of discussion at | :18:11. | :18:21. | |
it is also scientific gloss with nine categories and we argue about | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
every single one. For each category you get one point. In Chelsea we | :18:26. | :18:34. | |
seldom award for but if he get enough points at the end you get a | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
gold medal, very simple. And all these designers are all after Best | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
Show Garden. That is a tough one. It is but we tried to make it simple | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
because we stick with the points. If you get more points than anyone | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
else, you get the Best Show Garden. Where we have a problem is when we | :18:52. | :18:59. | |
are tied, and then it is a vote from the heart instead of the rule book. | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
How do you choose that last one, it cannot be something that you just | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
sense, you just stand in the garden and think this is my favourite. When | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
you get to that stage, we have gone through the science, the points, all | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
the objective stuff. We have two gardens that in our opinions, or the | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
judges are exactly the same. And then you can do what you want. And a | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
lot of these designers, you know them and you know how much it | :19:29. | :19:32. | |
matters to them. I feel a heavy burden of responsibility. We are | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
playing with careers and lives to a certain extent. But it is Chelsea | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
and we have high expectations. And we want to see excellence. Thank you | :19:42. | :19:49. | |
very much. Well we have been asked as the presenting team, for our own | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
thoughts for Best Show Garden. We will find out who was right tomorrow | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
on BBC Two at eight o'clock. Monday is a special day at Chelsea, Royal | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
Family turn out in force to show off their passion for gardening. Amongst | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
them is the monarch herself, Her Majesty The Queen. She turned 90 | :20:11. | :20:13. | |
this year and this is her 51st visit to the show. Who better to chart | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
this royal relationship with Chelsea then journalist Jennie Bond. The | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
royal visit has been a permanent fixture at Chelsea ever since it | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
first opened in the Royal Hospital grounds back in 1913. The young | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
Princess Elizabeth attended from an early age and she had a special | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
relationship with the show ever since. The Queen Mother herself a | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
keen gardener, encouraged her daughter with her passion for the | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
great outdoors and Princess Elisabeth had a small garden of her | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
own at Windsor. In 1952 her new role as Queen, she became a royal patron | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
of the RHS. When Chelsea were soon after World War II the British | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
horticultural industry rally together and the first show in 1947 | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
was deemed a triumph. As passions and technology changed over the | :21:05. | :21:07. | |
years the royal visitors have witnessed evermore ambitious | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
gardens, and displays and products. From rock gardens, to floating | :21:12. | :21:18. | |
buildings. As early as, lawn mowers, greenhouses. And ever-changing world | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
of Chelsea Magic. Having looked around myself I have no doubt that | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
there will be plenty to assassinate the Queen again this year. -- to | :21:29. | :21:39. | |
fascinate. Fascinating archive and the Queen visiting Chelsea is well | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
documented. This is part of the routine of the Royal year which she | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
really enjoys. Not just the Queen but many other members of the Royal | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
Family come here after year. She gets a private viewing as well she | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
it. It is not far to travel and she gets this lovely tour. I think she | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
is genuinely interested and it changes every year. This year is | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
very much about wild flowers and every aspect of the many gardens she | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
has got, she does not get her hands dirty but she does survey it. Do you | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
think she's a keen gardener herself? She is keen on what happens in the | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
garden! I know she likes it to be sustainable. They use garlic to | :22:24. | :22:28. | |
spray the roses instead of pesticide for example. And what comes out of | :22:29. | :22:39. | |
the horses, out of the rear end, then used as Royal manure. I was | :22:40. | :22:47. | |
fortunate when I had a garden here in 2012, she came and she was so | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
lovely about the garden. I took her around to look at my quite | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
contemporary space. She said the loveliest things, she said I like | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
the way your pond is at an angle. I thought that was nice cause it was | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
difficult. And somebody is gardens are quite complicated with deep | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
meanings, it is a lot to take in. It must be brilliant for her, she | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
probably picks up quite a lot of ideas. Chelsea is full of ideas. I | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
get ideas but then do not do anything about them but she could | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
just say, do that there and it is done. Everyone can take a bit of | :23:23. | :23:31. | |
Chelsea home. There are plenty of exhibits at Chelsea celebrating the | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
90th birthday of the Queen. We will reveal those later on BBC Two | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
including the surprised that is on the other side of this Covent Garden | :23:38. | :23:47. | |
stand. When the Queen arrives at the | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
Chelsea Showgrounds she's in for a treat. One of the first people to | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
greater will be a six-year-old, who is also going to present with a | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
bouquet she has made herself with help of the forest Simon. Now you do | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
your own growing, what you like to grow. Roses, fruit and vegetables. | :24:08. | :24:17. | |
Where do you grow them? In my grandmother's garden. These are | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
beautiful. Did you choose those specially to give to the Queen? How | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
do you feel about meeting the Queen? Nervous. Have you been practising | :24:31. | :24:37. | |
your pregnancy. Give me your best Pepsi. -- curtsy. That is | :24:38. | :24:46. | |
spectacular. You do not need to be nervous. You will be perfect. A lot | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
of people are feeling nervous at Chelsea right now because although | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
the gardens and the exhibits have already been charged, they will not | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
find out until tomorrow morning which medals they have one. An | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
anxious time for people who have worked so hard. Adam Frost has seven | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
gold medals to his name but he does not have a show garden here this | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
year so he is looking relaxed. We sent him to talk to some of the | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
Chelsea old hands and Chelsea first timers to find out how they are | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
feeling. This was always the most nerve | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
wracking day for me. All the judges going around and taking notes. My | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
stomach would be turning. These designers, it is not just about the | :25:32. | :25:39. | |
build, they have put their cell into these gardens. I want to go around | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
and see if I can find some designers and see how they're feeling before | :25:46. | :25:53. | |
the results tomorrow. I said never again! When you saw me | :25:54. | :26:04. | |
earlier in the week, I just could not work out how we were going to | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
finish. It is the most complicated build we have ever done. We could | :26:09. | :26:13. | |
not do anything off-site, then we would run the risk of things | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
buckling. So every piece of paving has had to be put in on site. | :26:17. | :26:27. | |
Unbelievable. Have you been judged? This is ten minutes before judging. | :26:28. | :26:34. | |
I vowed I would not get like this. Loads going on inside that she is | :26:35. | :26:43. | |
hiding. I am shaking. What are you going to get? It is impossible to | :26:44. | :26:51. | |
predict. Whatever you get, what I used to do was give her a massive | :26:52. | :26:58. | |
couple, compose myself, and then stand up. I will follow that | :26:59. | :27:10. | |
tomorrow, words of wisdom. How are you? All right, a bit | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
nervous. The judges came a bit earlier than I thought. I wanted to | :27:17. | :27:24. | |
let everything down. I saw you earlier and you were a bit nervous. | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
Yesterday we decided to change a few things. We did some paving and | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
things like that. We are happy with it. Silvergilt last year. Everyone | :27:34. | :27:40. | |
hopes for gold but you're judged by people you respect and whatever they | :27:41. | :27:50. | |
say, that goes. They're all brilliant if you get a gold medal | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
and if you do not, they do not have a clue! Then you just go to the pub. | :27:55. | :28:00. | |
There's so much at stake for designers. They worked so hard on | :28:01. | :28:05. | |
these gardens. This is a beautiful problems garden. James Basson was at | :28:06. | :28:12. | |
Chelsea for the first time last year and he will be disappointed not to | :28:13. | :28:19. | |
get the gold again. Anyone with a silver or silvergilt really wants to | :28:20. | :28:22. | |
get the gold. Everyone wants the gold medal at some designers will be | :28:23. | :28:28. | |
disappointed. It is incredibly public when they receive those | :28:29. | :28:30. | |
medals, the cameras are there. There is nowhere to hide, everyone is | :28:31. | :28:36. | |
watching you. The judges have assessed all these gardens in great | :28:37. | :28:40. | |
detail now and they have gone away to decide who gets what. Nicky | :28:41. | :28:47. | |
Chapman will have all of the medals tomorrow on BBC One at 3:45pm. And | :28:48. | :28:51. | |
they will speak to passionate gardener Kate Adie. But do not go | :28:52. | :28:57. | |
anywhere, go to BBC Two now and join us as we bring you an in-depth | :28:58. | :29:01. | |
analysis of the gardens. And we also will be seeing the arrival of Her | :29:02. | :29:06. | |
Majesty The Queen along with other members of the Royal Family. For | :29:07. | :29:08. | |
now, goodbye. Hello, I'm Riz Lateef | :29:09. | :29:21. | |
