:00:31. > :00:33.Hello and welcome back to The RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2017, an event

:00:34. > :00:42.Over the last 24 hours, we've witnessed much excitement

:00:43. > :00:45.across the show ground, as the culmination of years

:00:46. > :00:50.of planning and hard work came to fruition,

:00:51. > :00:55.with the announcement of the Large Show Garden medals.

:00:56. > :00:58.Well, tonight, that excitement is set to continue, as we focus

:00:59. > :01:01.on the lifeblood of Chelsea, the plants that make the show

:01:02. > :01:05.With over 60,000 perfect specimens and 500 exhibitors making up

:01:06. > :01:07.the gardens and displays this year, we still have plenty more to

:01:08. > :01:14.discover and explore at the greatest Flower Show on Earth.

:01:15. > :01:23.We've got the medal results for the Great Pavilion.

:01:24. > :01:25.And Carol Klein will be talking with first time gold

:01:26. > :01:28.The ultimate plantsman and all-round horticultural hero

:01:29. > :01:30.Roy Lancaster joins us, as we celebrate his lifelong

:01:31. > :01:35.And I'll be meeting fashion icon Kelly Brook, as she reveals how

:01:36. > :01:38.away from the cameras, her garden at home has

:01:39. > :01:43.Yesterday, the Chelsea judges awarded medals to the main

:01:44. > :01:56.Well, now is your chance to have your say, as we launch

:01:57. > :01:59.this year's BBC RHS People's Choice award.

:02:00. > :02:05.We will have more details on how to do that later on in the show.

:02:06. > :02:08.The Great Pavilion is the heart of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show

:02:09. > :02:11.and, this year, we have a bumper crop of over 100 exhibitors inside.

:02:12. > :02:16.It's a pretty big tent, covering a massive three acres,

:02:17. > :02:19.so Carol had her work cut out for her, as she donned her

:02:20. > :02:35.medals were revealed. the reactions as the Pavilion

:02:36. > :02:42.It is not all about the gardens. In the Great Pavilion, all the

:02:43. > :02:46.exhibitors have arrived this morning biting their nails. They have had a

:02:47. > :02:57.sleepless night waiting to see what the judges have given them. It is

:02:58. > :03:04.fantastic! Yes, I got my credit three! That is

:03:05. > :03:14.the star of the show! Have you told her? I told her this morning, very

:03:15. > :03:31.happy. We are overjoyed! Gold! Three now. There we go. It is a gold. Well

:03:32. > :03:42.done! Well done! Thank you, thank you very much! What have you got? We

:03:43. > :03:53.have got a Silver! We have got a Silver! We are over the moon. Oh! I

:03:54. > :03:54.am so excited, I am so happy. Have you got a Gold? So happy, beyond

:03:55. > :04:07.happy! What a morning! A hell of a morning.

:04:08. > :04:11.You did not do too badly. Not too shabby! I think it was a Gold, the

:04:12. > :04:17.first Chelsea Gold. So you have been before? Yes, it is our third year,

:04:18. > :04:22.the first year was over, not bad. Second years silver-gilt and this

:04:23. > :04:27.year, Gold. The pinnacle. We all strive for it. That is the best

:04:28. > :04:34.display I have ever seen! Thank you very much. Tell me, if it has been

:04:35. > :04:38.Silver, silver-gilt, Gold, what has the standard got the others did not?

:04:39. > :04:43.People are drawn to it and they walk past and they smile. A riot of

:04:44. > :04:47.colour, the fun of the fire. The colours of a funfair and that is

:04:48. > :04:54.what we wanted to echo. I love that idea of the helter-skelter and these

:04:55. > :05:00.flowers Tomlin down. It was about that wave coming down. Tell us about

:05:01. > :05:06.the plants, the colours are really great. Yes, and rich, so you get the

:05:07. > :05:09.best of both worlds. And because they will flower now, they will

:05:10. > :05:14.flower all the way until October and November so you get a lot for your

:05:15. > :05:18.money. As far as keeping them, how many plants could we leave out in

:05:19. > :05:21.our garden? In the national collection, we have about 30 which

:05:22. > :05:27.we would class as Hardy for anywhere in the country and we have 80 which

:05:28. > :05:32.are half hardy. And a couple you need to bring inside with a cup of

:05:33. > :05:35.cocoa and a blanket over the winter so they range greatly within the

:05:36. > :05:48.family. Which of these are really hardy. Or anything related to... A

:05:49. > :05:54.lantern form, by coloured in nature. Anything larger with a very leave,

:05:55. > :05:59.we need to have protection for them. Your display is one of the most

:06:00. > :06:04.imaginative I have ever seen at Chelsea! Your plants are perfect and

:06:05. > :06:07.your Gold medal is richly deserved, well done. Thank you so much.

:06:08. > :06:09.Congratulations to Leila Jackson, from Wall End Nursery.

:06:10. > :06:12.With 61 gold medals being awarded, there is a golden glow

:06:13. > :06:16.But there's still one very important award yet to be revealed -

:06:17. > :06:18.The Diamond Jubilee Award, given to the very best

:06:19. > :06:36.This year, it went to Penberth Plants.

:06:37. > :06:43.This is big, how does it feel? Over the moon, a lot of tears yesterday

:06:44. > :06:48.and every time we talked about it, I went, I am going to cry again. But I

:06:49. > :06:53.am not allowed to! Did you have any inkling? None whatsoever. You always

:06:54. > :06:59.like to have a chance of winning a gold medal. You have to have a 12

:07:00. > :07:05.point Gold Medal and you cannot drop points and you get put up on your

:07:06. > :07:11.panel with you on the mantle is so we were the best of that. So this is

:07:12. > :07:15.perfection in itself? Yes, I like to think we are the best in the world

:07:16. > :07:22.now. It is tricky because you have a huge range of plants, the succulents

:07:23. > :07:26.and you have gotten the restios and you have tree fern. Why have you got

:07:27. > :07:33.such a diverse range? We represent the garden we work from and we grow

:07:34. > :07:39.all of these there and we specialise in South African plants. Why? We

:07:40. > :07:44.have similar conditions in Cornwall, at Lands End. Granite bedrock is

:07:45. > :07:48.acidic, free draining. We have got the air quality and the reflection

:07:49. > :07:54.from the sea so we can really go for it with South African style. And

:07:55. > :07:58.plenty of rainfall, it is quite wet with draining. The exhibit is

:07:59. > :08:01.stunning and you have got three different areas and the visitors

:08:02. > :08:08.walk through and get up close to the plants, how does that work between

:08:09. > :08:13.you? We do a mock-up before the show and this year we only did the main

:08:14. > :08:18.section. Because it was too windy to even do it. It was too windy so you

:08:19. > :08:25.could only really do it and play it by ear? We had to wing it, really. I

:08:26. > :08:28.did not want to say that. And because we know the plants and we

:08:29. > :08:34.propagate everything and we grow it, we know. -- what they will do and

:08:35. > :08:40.how they react together. It is not easy, we just know what we're doing

:08:41. > :08:42.with those plants. You certainly do, congratulations, it is absolutely

:08:43. > :08:44.stunning, nice to meet both. Thank you.

:08:45. > :08:46.This pavilion houses the best in horticulture

:08:47. > :08:49.from across the globe, from South Africa to Barbados.

:08:50. > :08:51.Earlier this year, Frances Tophill visited the tropical island to meet

:08:52. > :08:53.the Barbados Horticultural Society, as they prepared

:08:54. > :09:11.At just 21 miles long and 14 miles wide, Barbados is a tiny island.

:09:12. > :09:19.With the roaring Atlantic to the east and the serene

:09:20. > :09:21.Caribbean Sea to the west, this tropical climate

:09:22. > :09:27.is the perfect place for growing beautiful exotic plants.

:09:28. > :09:31.Every year, a team of passionate growers from the Barbados

:09:32. > :09:33.Horticultural Society travel thousands of miles to bring

:09:34. > :09:42.a flavour of this beautiful island to the Chelsea Flower Show.

:09:43. > :09:45.I'm here in Barbados to meet them, as they prepare

:09:46. > :09:52.So here in Barbados, you have to source all of the plant material.

:09:53. > :09:56.Anybody in Barbados that has a particular plant that we want,

:09:57. > :10:05.go and ask and you get, because we're going to Chelsea.

:10:06. > :10:08.The theme for this year's display is inspired by the different styles

:10:09. > :10:12.So we're trying to depict three different types

:10:13. > :10:28.A chattel house is probably an evolution from a slave hut.

:10:29. > :10:31.When the slaves were freed, they could build a house

:10:32. > :10:39.These houses can be taken down and moved to another spot.

:10:40. > :10:42.The important thing is that the style of the planting

:10:43. > :10:45.in the garden will be different in each one, which gives a lot

:10:46. > :10:52.What an interesting sounding project!

:10:53. > :10:54.And it seems like they have everything more

:10:55. > :10:59.And now I'm off to meet a local grower who makes a really

:11:00. > :11:01.important contribution to the Barbados Horticultural

:11:02. > :11:08.Society's Chelsea display every year.

:11:09. > :11:10.Professional grower Trevor Hunt grows a centrepiece for the display

:11:11. > :11:17.And this year, he's hoping to wow the judges with a real eye-catcher

:11:18. > :11:19.that's never been seen at Chelsea before.

:11:20. > :11:34.And this is one that's never been because it gets so darn big.

:11:35. > :11:36.And it's at right angles, so it's very difficult to pack.

:11:37. > :11:41.But we're going to make a try this year and then

:11:42. > :11:48.So you can kind of force them into flowering at the right time?

:11:49. > :11:57.I hope you get what you're aiming for.

:11:58. > :12:07.Whilst the Barbados Horticultural Society has been in existence

:12:08. > :12:10.since 1927, they only made their debut at Chelsea in 1984.

:12:11. > :12:13.I went along to meet Audrey Thomas, who helped organise their first-ever

:12:14. > :12:25.All we had really was red ginger lilies, so we had to take

:12:26. > :12:28.as many of them as we could actually get on the aeroplane.

:12:29. > :12:30.And I imagine that's changed a lot now?

:12:31. > :12:33.We take heliconias and anthuriums and bromeliads.

:12:34. > :12:52.You know, all of the tropical flowers and plants.

:12:53. > :12:54.Audrey's passion for plants at Chelsea is a real family affair

:12:55. > :12:57.and has rubbed off on her niece Sally, who is now in charge

:12:58. > :13:04.We start picking approximately a week before Chelsea opens.

:13:05. > :13:09.Things that will last well, like this Aloe Arborescens.

:13:10. > :13:13.And then everything has to be packed.

:13:14. > :13:16.The boxes are all shipped on Wednesday, they arrive in London

:13:17. > :13:23.And then they come over to Chelsea and they unpack them all,

:13:24. > :13:29.And then that's it, they get laid out and prepared for the show.

:13:30. > :13:33.Yes, buckets and buckets and buckets.

:13:34. > :13:36.How important is it to win a Gold Medal?

:13:37. > :13:42.I remember one year when we won a silver-gilt, a fella saying to me,

:13:43. > :13:55.I'm sure you'll do absolutely brilliantly.

:13:56. > :14:10.Jennifer, you made it! How did it go? Very well, thank you. We got it

:14:11. > :14:15.all designed and put together and everything fitted. What did you get?

:14:16. > :14:19.We got a silver-gilt. We wanted the Gold Medal but these things happen

:14:20. > :14:24.and Blade Babe dust has 18 gold medals in the last 30 years so we

:14:25. > :14:28.cannot be greedy -- Barbados has. Why did you think you did not get

:14:29. > :14:34.the Gold Medal? The judges said a little think and we missed it by it

:14:35. > :14:40.two points. So tantalising! What reasons debate give? If you look at

:14:41. > :14:46.the paintings, they have paintings who is and they did not like the

:14:47. > :14:51.hinges. The naming of the plants they wanted Latin names rather than

:14:52. > :14:57.some Latin and some, names. And the big anthuriums? They did not make

:14:58. > :15:02.it. We had a drought in Barbados, we had rain a week before we left. That

:15:03. > :15:11.did not help. But maybe next year we will bring it. I notice there is a

:15:12. > :15:17.beautiful one. De Niro, a new one. And in terms of the other plants,

:15:18. > :15:22.many favourites? The judges and me like this behind you. This is the

:15:23. > :15:23.first time we have brought it and they thought it was stunning. That

:15:24. > :15:33.is a good point. We do have a lot of volunteers at

:15:34. > :15:37.home that packs, things came quite well. It's just that the weather

:15:38. > :15:41.here, or flowers do not like anything less than 30 degrees. We've

:15:42. > :15:46.all been saying how lovely the weather has been this year.

:15:47. > :15:50.Congratulations, I think it looks absolutely lovely. People say we

:15:51. > :15:52.should have got a gold but I'm not going to argue with the judges, I'm

:15:53. > :15:57.happy with what we've got. Chelsea attracts notable

:15:58. > :15:58.figures in horticulture from around the world,

:15:59. > :16:12.but very few are as highly regarded A complete hero of mine. Thank you

:16:13. > :16:16.for coming. I know this is a very special Chelsea for you because the

:16:17. > :16:20.RHS has given you a lifetime achievement award and you've won

:16:21. > :16:26.just about everything else. So congratulations on that. Thank you.

:16:27. > :16:32.Was it on the new expected? I did not I was totally in shock and had

:16:33. > :16:36.not prepared anything. But yeah, I'm still trying to get my head around

:16:37. > :16:43.it. Of course I feel honoured and I'm so grateful to all those

:16:44. > :16:48.involved in making that decision. You genuinely have spent a lifetime

:16:49. > :16:53.in horticulture, particularly as a Parkman, how did you begin? I

:16:54. > :16:57.started at Bolton Parks Department. I was given the chance of working

:16:58. > :17:03.with two foreman in that park, Moss bank Park in Bolton, who were

:17:04. > :17:08.genuine plant men. They grabbed me and taught me about plants, told me

:17:09. > :17:14.the Latin names, and they taught me about where plants come from, how

:17:15. > :17:26.they came to be in our gardens. When I left school I knew little about

:17:27. > :17:31.the three Rs but I learned the three Clippy, plants, people and places. A

:17:32. > :17:35.much better education. Talking about places, you are famous for your

:17:36. > :17:40.travels. You've been all over the world looking for plants. How did

:17:41. > :17:44.that start? Because that is a far cry from Bolton Parks Department.

:17:45. > :17:52.You're right. That's where I started. Like charity, planned

:17:53. > :17:56.knowledge begins at home. The true value, I feel, of knowledge, it

:17:57. > :18:01.adheres to plants, comes in the sharing of it. That is how it

:18:02. > :18:07.starts, people share their knowledge with me, I've been able to pass that

:18:08. > :18:11.on. To travel the world from my home, my doorstep, my home garden,

:18:12. > :18:16.and see the gardens of China, Chile... And it still continues.

:18:17. > :18:21.You're clutching a notebook. I know you've kept notebooks about all your

:18:22. > :18:25.travels and what you do. Is that from the very beginning or is it

:18:26. > :18:31.selective? This is the latest in... I must have maybe 200 notebooks

:18:32. > :18:36.dating back to the 1950s. I can never keep a diary. I never get on

:18:37. > :18:42.with diaries. But notebooks, in here you can see there are plants,

:18:43. > :18:51.people, places. Lots of stories about all three. That's what my life

:18:52. > :18:54.is about. Plans, people and places. You've written a book, did you have

:18:55. > :18:59.to trawl back through the notebooks? Right at the beginning. It contains

:19:00. > :19:05.what I feel are some of my best stories and most interesting people,

:19:06. > :19:09.and plants. A garden makes many friends, as you're well aware of,

:19:10. > :19:15.all over the world, who are kind and sharing and generous, it's the best

:19:16. > :19:20.profession you could ever be in. In your professional life you were the

:19:21. > :19:26.curator of Hillier 's arboretum. We haven't even touched upon that, a

:19:27. > :19:31.considerable job. All I would say is, there are hundreds of thousands,

:19:32. > :19:33.probably millions, of Ross, who are eternally grateful for the

:19:34. > :19:37.inspiration you've given us, the advice, and it has been such a

:19:38. > :19:45.pleasure working and knowing you. Thank you. Thank you, Monty.

:19:46. > :19:49.Always a huge inspiration and a thoroughly top bloke.

:19:50. > :19:51.Yesterday, we revealed the medals awarded to the Large Show Gardens

:19:52. > :19:56.Tonight, we're launching the 2017 BBC RHS People's

:19:57. > :19:58.Choice Award, giving you the opportunity to vote

:19:59. > :20:02.for your favourite Large Show Garden.

:20:03. > :20:05.Simply go to our website, bbc.co.uk/chelsea, and you will see

:20:06. > :20:07.all of the eight gardens up for the award and the information

:20:08. > :20:11.Voting opens at the end of tonight's show, at 9 o'clock.

:20:12. > :20:15.To help you decide, Rachel de Thame and Toby Buckland will be guiding

:20:16. > :20:18.you through each of the eight gardens.

:20:19. > :20:34.Breaking ground, designed by Andrew Wilson and Gavin McWilliam, aims to

:20:35. > :20:39.show how Wellington College are breaking down barriers to education.

:20:40. > :20:44.That comes through in the messages from students etched onto the copper

:20:45. > :20:46.wall, and these large architectural structures, transparent walls that

:20:47. > :20:53.appear to disintegrate towards the ends. The main landscaping material

:20:54. > :20:56.is sandstone and it is repeated throughout the garden for

:20:57. > :21:01.continuity. In the walling at the back and the large Hugh Dennis labs.

:21:02. > :21:05.It is also used to make these chunky pieces of furniture. The planting

:21:06. > :21:10.towards the back of the garden represents the heathland that

:21:11. > :21:13.surrounds Wellington College. There are some silver birch saplings.

:21:14. > :21:17.Towards the front of the garden, still very much green is the main

:21:18. > :21:30.colour, but highlights of purple from the delphinium, Salvia...

:21:31. > :21:37.Tracy Foster's garden is a snapshot of the Yorkshire coastline in full

:21:38. > :21:40.bloom of summertime. Wild flowers everywhere from foxgloves in the

:21:41. > :21:49.hedgerows and under trees to white and pink Campion with bloom like

:21:50. > :21:56.flowers on the banks. Of course, thrift, basking in the Sundown the

:21:57. > :22:00.beach. It's a garden with authenticity, because every pebble,

:22:01. > :22:08.every stone, even the rocks in the abbey behind me, have been brought

:22:09. > :22:12.here by truck from Yorkshire. The water here isn't just a babbling

:22:13. > :22:15.brook, it's the sea being sucked from the sand as the tide,

:22:16. > :22:19.represented by the pool at the front of the garden, goes out. There are

:22:20. > :22:27.even boys bobbing in the water out in the bay.

:22:28. > :22:42.takes inspiration from green spaces for patients recovering from cancer.

:22:43. > :22:45.It's an enclosed garden with a hornbeam hedge running round it. The

:22:46. > :22:53.only way to view is either through the slatted garden gate or up on the

:22:54. > :22:57.walkway. The core of the garden is a granite cuboid which has been broken

:22:58. > :23:01.apart. All the other elements are made from the same material. From

:23:02. > :23:06.the chippings at ground level, the furniture, and the water feature.

:23:07. > :23:16.It's all softened by planting. So we've got that colour of the bar

:23:17. > :23:19.salt picked out. -- of the basalt. We've got the bright purples of the

:23:20. > :23:36.irises, pinks of the geraniums. One of the first things I look for

:23:37. > :23:38.when I enter any garden is it's feeling or mood.

:23:39. > :23:39.It's such an important element to a garden,

:23:40. > :23:42.Each evening this week, multi-gold-winning Chelsea designer

:23:43. > :23:45.Adam Frost has been exploring the gardens at this year's show

:23:46. > :23:48.to reveal the innovative design tricks and ideas that can be

:23:49. > :23:57.You might have me feel full of energy. And that can be manipulated,

:23:58. > :24:02.you can use that to create the right mood in your garden. Each evening

:24:03. > :24:08.this week our multi-gold winning Chelsea designer Adam Frost has been

:24:09. > :24:11.exploring the gardens on show to reveal how design tricks and ideas

:24:12. > :24:16.can be utilised in your own gardens to get the effect you want. Tonight

:24:17. > :24:18.Adam is looking at how designers have gone about creating the right

:24:19. > :24:29.atmosphere. When I'm designing a garden, I

:24:30. > :24:35.really want them to have atmosphere. What I do to help that process is

:24:36. > :24:39.use a word. I think of romantic, maybe bold, may be calm, may be hot.

:24:40. > :24:46.By doing that it really helps me to sort of focus on what I'm trying to

:24:47. > :24:52.get out of that space I'm designing. To me, this is party. I feel I've

:24:53. > :24:56.off a plane and arrived in Mexico. I think that's one of the things about

:24:57. > :25:00.gardens and atmospheres, you can really think about maybe some you

:25:01. > :25:04.love, somewhere you want to be. And bring that home with you in a

:25:05. > :25:08.suitcase. I love the way, actually, there is some colour on these walls.

:25:09. > :25:11.Sometimes we are fearful of colour. Playing with a bit of colour, maybe

:25:12. > :25:21.only in one space, and really, really bring it alive.

:25:22. > :25:27.Do you know, for me what is an incredible element in any garden.

:25:28. > :25:32.You really think about it you can change the mood so much and so

:25:33. > :25:36.easily. You can have a calm reflective space, then you can add

:25:37. > :25:40.some drama. You can have water roaring, drown out the outside

:25:41. > :25:45.sound. Really think about how you want to use it. Is it the sound, is

:25:46. > :25:46.it a reflective surface? What are you really trying to do when you

:25:47. > :26:05.create that space? I absolutely love that, just makes

:26:06. > :26:14.me smile. It might drive other people crackers, just that sounds...

:26:15. > :26:18.CREAKING.. Reminds me of being a kid with a garden gate, it demonstrates

:26:19. > :26:20.how much sound can create atmosphere in the garden. It actually sounds

:26:21. > :26:32.more like my knees. I think that's a fantastic idea,

:26:33. > :26:36.just a great way of creating a little bit of sort of tension and

:26:37. > :26:40.mystery. You could do that at home just to divide a space, even a wide

:26:41. > :26:52.gap, something to pull you through. I think it's a lovely way of adding

:26:53. > :26:56.to that atmosphere. This is a fantastic little space I found

:26:57. > :27:01.tucked away. I think it's a really thing to do in a garden, create

:27:02. > :27:06.somewhere slightly hidden away. With plans, it's got a really mellow

:27:07. > :27:10.palette to it, we've got firms... They told everything down. It makes

:27:11. > :27:14.you realise planting really can affect the mood. If you choose one

:27:15. > :27:19.of those words, whether it's romance, drama, and you use it to

:27:20. > :27:26.drive your design, you can really end up with that place you really

:27:27. > :27:32.want to spend some time with. Pick a word, what do you think? How about a

:27:33. > :27:36.disaster? Your garden isn't that bad! We still have a lot to come

:27:37. > :27:39.this evening from the Chelsea flower show supported by M Investments.

:27:40. > :27:41.We immerse ourselves in colour and scent,

:27:42. > :27:46.as we meet garden designer Sarah Raven in the Radio 2

:27:47. > :27:50.We look behind the garden gate, as fashion icon Kelly Brook invites

:27:51. > :27:52.us into her stunning English Country garden and reveals her

:27:53. > :27:56.And if you have any questions for myself or Joe, send them

:27:57. > :28:08.We'll be answering them at the end of the programme.

:28:09. > :28:11.As well as being beautiful to look at, some of the gardens

:28:12. > :28:13.here at Chelsea also have a story to tell.

:28:14. > :28:15.When garden designers Jonathan Smith and Adam Woolcott joined forces

:28:16. > :28:18.to create an Artisan garden for the World Horse Welfare charity,

:28:19. > :28:30.that story took the form of a little horse named Clippy.

:28:31. > :28:33.What we're really, really hoping for with this garden is that people

:28:34. > :28:35.come and see the garden and they will

:28:36. > :28:37.They will become passionate about the

:28:38. > :28:46.I'm Adam Woolcott, I've done gardening all my

:28:47. > :28:51.My grandmother was mad on gardening, my mum was mad on

:28:52. > :29:04.We both love plants, and we love what we do, but we have

:29:05. > :29:06.different approaches and I think that complements each other.

:29:07. > :29:11.We actually said at the last show that we wouldn't

:29:12. > :29:15.actually do another RHS show, because it is a lot of work, it is

:29:16. > :29:19.very stressful, but you know what, we just couldn't resist.

:29:20. > :29:22.When we first got the call from World Horse

:29:23. > :29:24.Welfare, we went up to their main rescue centre.

:29:25. > :29:26.It's quite humbling to see the horses there.

:29:27. > :29:37.In different stages of rehabilitation.

:29:38. > :29:38.There was a particular horse called Clippy

:29:39. > :29:40.that really gave us the

:29:41. > :29:42.inspiration to create the garden at Chelsea flower show.

:29:43. > :29:45.Clippy was a horse that was found in the most

:29:46. > :29:50.Actually standing up all the time because the space was so small.

:29:51. > :29:55.Really, really terribly abandoned horse.

:29:56. > :29:57.But Clippy was rescued, Clippy was looked after,

:29:58. > :30:01.And now you just wouldn't believe the difference.

:30:02. > :30:04.I mean, this horse now is having a wonderful life out

:30:05. > :30:07.in the paddocks, out in the wild herbs, the wild flowers.

:30:08. > :30:09.And this is the kind of garden that we are

:30:10. > :30:15.So what we've done is, we've created a wild

:30:16. > :30:17.flower garden that has almost like two areas.

:30:18. > :30:21.There is one area of the garden that is a neglected, dreadful

:30:22. > :30:26.stable area, planted with plants that are quite harmful to horses.

:30:27. > :30:29.This year actually growing a lot of our plants, as we normally do,

:30:30. > :30:35.Here we've got hemlock, which kind of speaks for itself.

:30:36. > :30:37.It really is incredibly toxic to sort

:30:38. > :30:47.This is ragwort, one of the most poisonous plants

:30:48. > :30:49.to horses that most people have heard of.

:30:50. > :30:52.Part of it is a bit of education, so we can show people,

:30:53. > :30:54.these are the sorts of plants that are very

:30:55. > :30:55.harmful for horses, so if

:30:56. > :30:58.you've got them in your paddocks, get rid of them.

:30:59. > :31:00.And then we wanted to open up the garden so that the

:31:01. > :31:03.horse was then led into a more welcoming space.

:31:04. > :31:05.That side of the garden represents hope.

:31:06. > :31:07.Dandelions is one plant that's really, really

:31:08. > :31:10.Some people say it's actually good for their

:31:11. > :31:13.Look at that fantastic flower, you know, yellow, wonderful

:31:14. > :31:23.We thought it was important this year to include a sculpture in the

:31:24. > :31:25.garden, a horse sculpture, because we wanted to show

:31:26. > :31:28.that the invisible horse that was in the stable has now

:31:29. > :31:36.We discovered a chap called Tom, and this chap is

:31:37. > :31:38.absolutely incredibly talented, and can create all sorts of animal

:31:39. > :31:41.sculptures literally out of nothing but horseshoes, and we thought,

:31:42. > :31:48.It's good, though, going off to see this sculpture.

:31:49. > :31:54.I actually, I was kind of thinking we're not

:31:55. > :32:12.It's going to get a lot of attention at Chelsea, this one,

:32:13. > :32:15.It is something completely different.

:32:16. > :32:17.Knockout, just what we were looking for.

:32:18. > :32:23.Some of the supporters of the charity have donated their

:32:24. > :32:26.Are there any well-known ones on the sculpture yet?

:32:27. > :32:27.That's Milford Haven, one of the Queen's

:32:28. > :32:33.This is actually from one of the Queen's horses.

:32:34. > :32:42.There's plenty more as well to go on.

:32:43. > :33:02.All in all, we're just hoping that our passion for this

:33:03. > :33:07.There is that pressure, added pressure, that it is the best that

:33:08. > :33:09.we can do, because we don't want to let anybody down,

:33:10. > :33:18.and we certainly don't want to let the horses down.

:33:19. > :33:28.The fabulous garden. It looks great. There are a lot of wild flowers and

:33:29. > :33:34.weeds, at Chelsea, you serious? Yes, we are, wild flowers can be really

:33:35. > :33:38.stunning and there eyes an irony as well because a lot of weeds you

:33:39. > :33:42.think will be difficult to get rid of like underlines and docks and

:33:43. > :33:47.when you try to get rid of them, they possessed and they will not

:33:48. > :33:51.disappear and when you give them some love and get them to show

:33:52. > :33:55.standard, they show off. Not as easy to grow as you would imagine. I

:33:56. > :34:01.thought they would be the easiest in the world. No, they show off. The

:34:02. > :34:06.horse looks good, it has rusted and it blends in. Yes, the horse has

:34:07. > :34:11.only just been finished. We really chuffed and it has taken that night

:34:12. > :34:16.rescue Bale and eventually it will get a dark rusty colour. How many

:34:17. > :34:20.horseshoes? Between 300 and 400 and some have been donated by the Rhyl

:34:21. > :34:25.family, Princess Anne and the Queen and the champion Olympic horses. So

:34:26. > :34:31.it eyes really nice and we are really chuffed with it. It does look

:34:32. > :34:36.great. But Clippy was down here on Monday. What did he think of this

:34:37. > :34:43.garden? Clippy over liked it! He started launching around! And we did

:34:44. > :34:47.say, can we bring the Clippy onto the garden? We said, no, that cannot

:34:48. > :34:51.happen! Was torture because he has come a long way from Somerset and he

:34:52. > :34:58.saw these lovely plants and he could not eat one of them. There are some

:34:59. > :35:02.that horses should not eat? Brag what eyes the classic and we have

:35:03. > :35:08.deadly nightshade. We have box globe. It eyes ironic because things

:35:09. > :35:12.like horseradish with horse in the name and horse-chestnut, they are

:35:13. > :35:17.bad for horses. It eyes great here and it looks stunning and you got a

:35:18. > :35:21.Gold Medal, I am not surprised, it eyes the most fantastic garden I

:35:22. > :35:25.have ever visited. Congratulations, great to see you.

:35:26. > :35:27.Earlier this evening, we launched this year's BBC RHS

:35:28. > :35:29.People's Choice award, giving you the opportunity to vote

:35:30. > :35:31.for your favourite design in the Large Show Garden category.

:35:32. > :35:35.You can vote at the end of the show, but to help you decide,

:35:36. > :35:37.we're reminding you of each garden across tonight's programme.

:35:38. > :35:44.Here are Rachel and Toby with the next three.

:35:45. > :35:53.Walk on the wild side, that sums up the work of Charlotte Harris

:35:54. > :35:57.perfectly because her garden eyes a representation of the boreal forests

:35:58. > :36:00.of Northern Canada. This eyes a large wilderness, ravaged by fire in

:36:01. > :36:05.summer and covered in snow in winter. The fires release nutrients

:36:06. > :36:12.and caused lush growth and the flames reference in that the work,

:36:13. > :36:18.the scorched on the bridge and the furniture of the Pavilion. And the

:36:19. > :36:22.furniture of the Pavilion. Are strewn through the Borders giving

:36:23. > :36:29.the garden a rugged feel. This eyes more than a forest garden, the patio

:36:30. > :36:36.eyes big enough to use for a table. This eyes softened around the edges

:36:37. > :36:47.by wild planting of water, the bees working the blames here. 500 Years

:36:48. > :36:50.of Covent Garden by Lee Bestall eyes inspired by that famous part of

:36:51. > :36:55.London and Lee has used the same materials you would find there, the

:36:56. > :37:02.car. -- the cobbles and the paving stones and the brick wall. These

:37:03. > :37:06.arches are how the structure looks at Covent Garden. You have got a

:37:07. > :37:09.hornbeam hedge surrounding it and even each corner, you pick up on the

:37:10. > :37:17.history of the market with these old Apple trees. And there is also

:37:18. > :37:23.cornice at the back. The pale colours filtered through the garden.

:37:24. > :37:32.Whether it is on the foxgloves, and there are also the yew creating

:37:33. > :37:37.mounds throughout the border. But on the front of the garden, clouds of

:37:38. > :37:45.grass punctuated by the warm pink of roses and lupins. Based on a Maltese

:37:46. > :37:51.quarry, James Basson's design is like a labyrinth in the land that

:37:52. > :37:59.Time forgot. Thanks to changes of level that dominate the scene. It is

:38:00. > :38:05.a garden that has surprises around every corner from a table for

:38:06. > :38:13.alfresco dining to this cool pool. There is the wiry yellow spires,

:38:14. > :38:19.fluffy tops of bunny tail grass. And I have not seen the plant at Chelsea

:38:20. > :38:23.before, it is called squirting cucumber and it has Kiwi sized fruit

:38:24. > :38:30.that propel themselves across your garden 30 feet. With this regiment

:38:31. > :38:34.of stones which are of cuts from the quarry matched with the planting, it

:38:35. > :38:38.is not a garden that is a match between two people. One likes to

:38:39. > :38:44.keep things neat and tidy and the other does not.

:38:45. > :38:46.I'm in the 'BBC Radio 2 Feel Good, Colour Cutting Garden',

:38:47. > :38:49.one of five gardens here at this year's Chelsea designed to celebrate

:38:50. > :39:01.And this garden is a real feast for the eyes.

:39:02. > :39:07.And it is a celebration. The colour is exploding out. But not in a

:39:08. > :39:13.chaotic way, in the most extraordinary and controlled and

:39:14. > :39:17.triumphant march of every colour so it is wonderful. Really beautiful. I

:39:18. > :39:23.love it. Everybody else is loving it and it is a good job you do as well.

:39:24. > :39:27.Everybody is saying not just looks nice, it is a garden they feel they

:39:28. > :39:31.could have at home. Could you? It really is and one thing I have

:39:32. > :39:35.noticed today is the Eucalyptus wood planted and days ago was literally

:39:36. > :39:40.at the height of the Silver birch frame and all those who are bees and

:39:41. > :39:44.sunflowers have crowded it well so things are really growing. They

:39:45. > :39:51.planted on the ground or are they in pots? A lot in pots. It is an

:39:52. > :39:56.artifice and carefully constructed. But could people do this at home and

:39:57. > :39:59.is it possible or did you take the idea and a couple of colour

:40:00. > :40:04.combinations or could you create something as rich as this that is

:40:05. > :40:09.sustainable? You could, they are annuals, a lot of them are self

:40:10. > :40:12.seeding and there is a structure of evergreen with eucalyptus and Roses

:40:13. > :40:16.and perennials and there are bedding areas we change every year so you

:40:17. > :40:20.can bed out. I have beds like this at home and they will give you a

:40:21. > :40:26.succession because if you cut them, it is like deadheading, but alive.

:40:27. > :40:30.You have colour outside and you replenish it by bringing it inside

:40:31. > :40:36.and that is the difference to most perennials like it PNE. It is the

:40:37. > :40:40.reverse. But you cannot really do much in the shade, you are limited.

:40:41. > :40:46.You definitely are limited and there are some things like the Angelica,

:40:47. > :40:52.we have a shady zone over here. But you are more restricted because

:40:53. > :40:56.annuals make their food from the sunshine and it is like putting them

:40:57. > :41:01.on a starvation diet, in the shade. A lot of annuals. One thing is

:41:02. > :41:08.annuals and some of the most popular ones have flower heads that are

:41:09. > :41:12.convoluted and very busy and not so good for pollinators. Is it possible

:41:13. > :41:18.to balance having a lot of wildlife and in and this incredible amount?

:41:19. > :41:23.Yes, it genuinely is and you need to look at the centre of the flower.

:41:24. > :41:28.Because Moss is perfect and the poppies blow for the pollen and not

:41:29. > :41:35.the nectar. And this beautiful single dahlia which is very

:41:36. > :41:41.elaborate but if you watch, the bees are going and feasting on the centre

:41:42. > :41:45.of the flower. So they are not contradictory. We are feasting on

:41:46. > :41:47.the colour, it is lovely, it is a triumph and thank you for bringing

:41:48. > :41:54.it to Chelsea. Well, it has been really good fun! But! -- good!

:41:55. > :41:57.The Chelsea Flower Show attracts some of the world's most

:41:58. > :41:59.International fashion icon and actress Kelly Brook

:42:00. > :42:02.is a regular visitor to the show and when the cameras stop

:42:03. > :42:05.rolling, there's only one place she wants to be -

:42:06. > :42:27.This is the true version of meat and it is not what you see it on the

:42:28. > :42:32.television. This is the real me really, I guess. You kind of putting

:42:33. > :42:36.yourself out there and that is why I have kept my passion for gardening

:42:37. > :42:40.and to one side because that is funny and I never wanted it to be

:42:41. > :42:43.judged. When I got older, I realised it is important to share those

:42:44. > :42:51.things because that really who you are. It is basically like a 10-year

:42:52. > :42:56.labour of love. The gardens were completely overgrown and it was in

:42:57. > :43:01.disrepair and falling down so for me it was about stripping it back to

:43:02. > :43:05.its bare bones and getting the landscape right and now I am

:43:06. > :43:12.starting a two but the plants backend that I love. -- I am

:43:13. > :43:16.starting to put the plants back in it that I love. My grandfather was a

:43:17. > :43:22.gardener and he had an amazing vegetable patch up and he was always

:43:23. > :43:32.out in the garden, so maybe a bit of my passion comes from him. What I

:43:33. > :43:38.love about Bond planting, I am getting stuck! Everything goes in so

:43:39. > :43:43.easily! I have put Primula is over there and I hope that is not too

:43:44. > :43:48.wet. It does not sit in the water, it wants to meet around the outside.

:43:49. > :43:53.The thing with gardening for me is that I learn as I go along and the

:43:54. > :43:57.things I do is from experience over the ten years of planting stuff and

:43:58. > :44:01.it not working and seeing something self seeding and driving somewhere.

:44:02. > :44:06.This is why you need to have experienced gardeners helping deep

:44:07. > :44:09.because it can be an expensive hobby because if everything dies, you have

:44:10. > :44:17.to start over, but that never happens, so you are all right! The

:44:18. > :44:22.idea behind the garden was that I wanted to create rooms in the garden

:44:23. > :44:26.and because I am from a theatrical background, I wanted it to have an

:44:27. > :44:31.experienced. Every area to have a different atmosphere and a different

:44:32. > :44:35.field. There is formal areas and then at wild areas as well because

:44:36. > :44:40.that is me, that is who I am and that is what I love.

:44:41. > :44:52.This is the lime walk. Sitting Reach Sissinghurst has a fabulous lime

:44:53. > :45:05.walk. After ten years of growing it has reached its potential.

:45:06. > :45:11.This, I have to say, is the reason that I bought the house, this is a

:45:12. > :45:18.freshwater spring that comes up right outside my kitchen door. I

:45:19. > :45:22.planted it with some iris, this daisy I put in last year has done

:45:23. > :45:26.really well. It evolved a little bit over the years. This year we've been

:45:27. > :45:35.really lucky and everything has come up really beautifully. So this is

:45:36. > :45:39.the natural stream that kind of follows an from the freshwater

:45:40. > :45:43.spring. As you can see it's quite established and starting to come up

:45:44. > :45:49.now. I've just come back from France where I went to Mono's garden. I was

:45:50. > :45:58.so overwhelmed and jealous of the colour that was in that garden. I

:45:59. > :46:05.put in some water lilies and we have a gun that I planted.

:46:06. > :46:10.I love the ease. They are nice around a pond because they give a

:46:11. > :46:19.bitter fight. They are really, really pretty for a spring land

:46:20. > :46:24.around a pond. So, this is my laburnum arch. This was kind of do

:46:25. > :46:27.we keep it, do we get rid of it? Because it is such a lot of

:46:28. > :46:33.maintenance. I went to stay at Barnsley house and saw Rosemary

:46:34. > :46:36.Berry's laburnum arch with the alleys and I came back inspired and

:46:37. > :46:43.said, we're keeping it. And we'll make the best of it because when it

:46:44. > :46:49.comes out, in flower, it is yellow. -- we saw the aliums. As one thing

:46:50. > :46:52.is finishing another thing is flourishing, which I think is really

:46:53. > :47:03.important in a garden. It's beautiful. At the moment I've only

:47:04. > :47:07.got one vegetable patch but the idea is if it works what I would do is

:47:08. > :47:12.build four and have a crop rotation. One salad, one vegetable, maybe one

:47:13. > :47:16.for cut flowers, maybe a herbal one, I don't know. I need to get some

:47:17. > :47:20.ideas when I go to Chelsea and see what they recommend. You know how

:47:21. > :47:23.you use to what your grandpa and your mum in the garden watering the

:47:24. > :47:28.plants every night. You're like, what are they doing that for? Now

:47:29. > :47:32.I'm doing that. It's bizarre to me. But it's just so relaxing and

:47:33. > :47:35.therapeutic, watching something grow and nurturing something, I just

:47:36. > :47:45.don't think there is anything more satisfying, really. I love it. You

:47:46. > :47:49.really are our hands-on gardener, aren't you? You get stuck in, get

:47:50. > :47:54.the wellies on, get in the pond. I thought I was until I came here

:47:55. > :47:57.today and saw this, now I feel completely amateur, this is

:47:58. > :48:02.incredible. This is like my dream vegetable patch can I just say? I'm

:48:03. > :48:06.desperate to grow a vegetable patch for so long now. I realise now I

:48:07. > :48:13.really do plant everything way too close together. What have you seen?

:48:14. > :48:18.The Kayal. I have to say my Kayal does look like that at the moment.

:48:19. > :48:24.Chelsea standard. So I was really happy when I saw that. It's probably

:48:25. > :48:32.all I've got at Chelsea standard. -- Chelsea standard kale. You want to

:48:33. > :48:35.grow some herbs, don't you? These flowering chives I love, I love

:48:36. > :48:42.anything I can eat but also looks pretty. It's not my garden, but eat

:48:43. > :48:49.away. Have a little chive breath, we both have to have one. Aren't they

:48:50. > :48:55.nice? Full of flavour. You've had chives. Sprinkle a little salad. I

:48:56. > :49:08.don't normally do flowers. Chive flowers are beautiful, really nice.

:49:09. > :49:15.What is this? Nasturtium. 123, go. That's delicious. Little bit

:49:16. > :49:22.peppery. That's really nice. Suite then the pepper comes through. That

:49:23. > :49:27.strong. In a good way. They are so beautiful just dotted around a

:49:28. > :49:33.salad. They look great. They flower all summer. I need to do that, then.

:49:34. > :49:35.Plenty of sun, good drainage, they will grow away. I definitely need

:49:36. > :49:55.some of those. Now have you got a Mulberry?

:49:56. > :50:01.Handbag? Know, a mulberry bush! Or treat! I don't have a mulberry tree

:50:02. > :50:08.but that is so cute. This won plant of the year. It is a black and white

:50:09. > :50:11.mulberry crossed together and everyone's after one, frankly.

:50:12. > :50:15.They've been breeding this for about 30 years. They come in these compact

:50:16. > :50:18.varieties covered in fruit. This could be great in my vegetable

:50:19. > :50:24.patch, wouldn't take up too much room. I love it. You know what, I do

:50:25. > :50:35.like that, then it doesn't spread out too much. That's gorgeous,

:50:36. > :50:40.that's beautiful, that's perfect. I think this is such a genius idea. I

:50:41. > :50:44.saw a picture of it so I bought an old palate and a staple gun. The

:50:45. > :50:48.herb palette was an absolute disaster, it looked awful. You are

:50:49. > :50:52.trying out making something for nothing. I love the idea it was

:50:53. > :50:56.something for nothing and it would have a big impact. I've heard you

:50:57. > :51:05.are prolific on social media. Yeah, I love to tweet my aliums, people

:51:06. > :51:13.seem to respond to it and love it. I hate to miss this opportunity. Shall

:51:14. > :51:18.we do a selfie? Right, I'll put that on social media. You've got the

:51:19. > :51:23.model pose, I just did a grin. We'll see how many likes you get. Had fun

:51:24. > :51:28.at Chelsea? I'm in my element here, I'm going here completely inspired,

:51:29. > :51:33.I'll be in the garden all weekend trying to recreate them in I've seen

:51:34. > :51:34.here. That's one of the dangers. Lovely to meet you, Kelly. Thank

:51:35. > :51:37.you. Now it's your chance to be

:51:38. > :51:40.the judge, as we take a look at the last two of the eight

:51:41. > :51:43.Large Show Gardens you can vote for in the BBC RHS

:51:44. > :51:57.People's Choice award. The Morgan Stanley garden is

:51:58. > :52:03.inspired by the geometry found within nature and, by extension, how

:52:04. > :52:08.nature then inspires musicians. It's very much a garden of three parts.

:52:09. > :52:16.In the centre, you've got this performance space, with oak and

:52:17. > :52:21.limestone. And on this side it's a very informal feel, so you've got

:52:22. > :52:28.trees. Underneath it, the planting of firms. Primulas and other shade

:52:29. > :52:31.lovers. As you walk through into this part of the garden the

:52:32. > :52:34.atmosphere becomes much more exuberant.

:52:35. > :52:44.These clipped you shapes surrounded by the planting of perennials.

:52:45. > :53:02.Inspiration from this design was taken from the Chinese city of

:53:03. > :53:07.Chengdu in Szechuan. If you look up the origin of apparent online or in

:53:08. > :53:11.a book, there is a good chance it comes from Szechuan. Their flora is

:53:12. > :53:22.not only immense, it also mostly grows happily here in the UK. So

:53:23. > :53:27.everything from peonies, irises, primulas, two rhododendrons...

:53:28. > :53:35.They're all Chinese and they are all from Szechuan. Now in this garden

:53:36. > :53:39.they are arranged in these almost smoky green contrails. I use that

:53:40. > :53:42.word because all those these colourful triangles are supposed to

:53:43. > :53:47.represent the mountain ranges of the region, they looked like the tail

:53:48. > :53:52.fins of claims, cutting through cloud pruned plants.

:53:53. > :53:55.That's all 8 of the large show gardens you can vote for.

:53:56. > :53:57.Voting opens online at the end of the programme and closes

:53:58. > :54:03.But it's not only the gardens out in the show ground

:54:04. > :54:06.This year more exhibits in the Great Pavilion

:54:07. > :54:08.are pushing the boundaries to create complete gardens.

:54:09. > :54:19.Award winning designer Juliet Sargeant went to see them.

:54:20. > :54:25.Traditionally, the Great Pavilion has been all about showing

:54:26. > :54:28.individual plants to absolute perfection. But recently there has

:54:29. > :54:34.been a bit of a move to show us what we can do in our own gardens by

:54:35. > :54:40.displaying them in more of a garden setting, in absolutely fabulous

:54:41. > :54:43.combinations. On the alias stand, Sarah Eberle has teamed up with

:54:44. > :54:50.Caitlin McLaughlin to create a garden inside. When plants are shown

:54:51. > :54:55.as single specimens it doesn't give you any idea how to plant them, what

:54:56. > :55:02.to plant them with. And so I really wanted to bring that reality to the

:55:03. > :55:05.marquee. You really have created this haven. It doesn't feel as if

:55:06. > :55:10.there's anything else around this garden. I think part of that is

:55:11. > :55:15.probably the trees you've used. Are there any people could use in a

:55:16. > :55:19.small garden? The hornbeam we have at the front is a bigotry but for

:55:20. > :55:26.smaller garden you can cut it, keep it under control. These are in

:55:27. > :55:31.containers. And the peaches we have. Another way to create a tall hedge,

:55:32. > :55:36.if you like. We call it a hedge on sticks. Caitlin, any favourite

:55:37. > :55:43.combinations of plants you suggest people try at home? I'm a big fan of

:55:44. > :55:47.totally tangerine, we've got it scattered through, got it in

:55:48. > :55:51.sections, I think it's so cheerful looking, it makes me happy. There is

:55:52. > :56:01.that wonderful pop of colour. Exactly. In all the years Rosie

:56:02. > :56:05.Hardy has been exhibiting at Chelsea, she's always embraced the

:56:06. > :56:13.idea of displaying her plants in the garden combinations. We're growing

:56:14. > :56:17.things that grow in people's gardens and they want to see how they can

:56:18. > :56:21.grow them in their gardens. There must be challenges because you are

:56:22. > :56:24.having to create a design in three dimensions, people can see it from

:56:25. > :56:33.all the different angles. Quite often I will use quite tall plants

:56:34. > :56:38.right at the edge. Something like the grass has beautiful, long wavy

:56:39. > :56:43.grass, but the actual greenery is quite low, so it does bend itself

:56:44. > :56:49.being on an edge. That's really interesting, you are using what I

:56:50. > :56:53.would call translucent plants. It is, it's that keeping of using maybe

:56:54. > :56:56.something bold, then something translucent in front of it that

:56:57. > :57:04.might be taller than the thing that is bowled behind. Anything new for

:57:05. > :57:08.us this year? This year we were very lucky, we've got a new salvia called

:57:09. > :57:11.Crystal blue, mixes well with a lot of grass planting or other perennial

:57:12. > :57:22.planting, is a really fabulous new plant. Rosie is certainly at the top

:57:23. > :57:26.of her game. Hashtag ask Monty and Joe, following on from yesterday's

:57:27. > :57:31.results, Carol from Dorset asks, who are the judges and what are their

:57:32. > :57:34.qualifications for judging? The judges are a team, they apply, they

:57:35. > :57:39.don't get paid at any stage. They are trained for two years and in

:57:40. > :57:44.that process they attend and watch and pass, then they do a year of

:57:45. > :57:49.provincial shows. Ben Ando only then can they apply to come to Chelsea.

:57:50. > :57:52.It could be more, could be five. There is a designer, landscape,

:57:53. > :57:59.plantsman, and they are hugely respected in their field. Often

:58:00. > :58:03.gold-medal winners. James Alexander Sinclair will join me on Friday and

:58:04. > :58:08.we will talk and walk through a gold medal winning garden just explaining

:58:09. > :58:11.how points were awarded. If you have any Chelsea related questions about

:58:12. > :58:18.judging or otherwise and you would like Joe and I to answer, send them

:58:19. > :58:21.to us through the hashtag. That's it I'm afraid we're out of time this

:58:22. > :58:24.evening, but we'll be back here again tomorrow night at 8pm when the

:58:25. > :58:31.nation's favourite culinary queen Mary Berry takes us on an exclusive

:58:32. > :58:38.tour of her garden at home. If you can't wait until then James Wong and

:58:39. > :58:42.Nicki Chapman will be back at 3:45pm tomorrow. Go online now and cast

:58:43. > :58:47.your vote for one of the eight large show gardens of this year's BBC RHS

:58:48. > :58:50.People's choice award. The details are on our website. That's it, see

:58:51. > :59:23.you tomorrow. Goodbye. I have never slept with

:59:24. > :59:27.a man that I just met.
