I've been trawling the internet to find any Chelsea blogs, they've each got opinions and comment from different designers and many report from the showground where it's all been happening for weeks. I want to find out who is desperate because a delivery is not on schedule or who is calm (smug) with everything going to plan. If you can read between the l ines you'll even discover any Chelsea controversy brewing...
Chelsea stalwarts Hilliers and their leader Andy McIndoe talk about the start of the build in the Great Pavilion, all sounds remarkably together so far. A lot to think about as you'd expect but the experienced team sound well on-track. Follow the Hort Week blog here where Andy keeps you up to date with the build.
Perhaps it's just me being nosey or my secret hankering to one day build my own show garden (well, a girl can dream!) but I've enjoyed following Adam Frost, designer of The QVC Garden through his online journal, I love finding out what it's really like to design and build a show garden at Chelsea and how amazing that first beer feels after completion!
Sorry to have to mention the financial state of things but it's an interesting thought. Has the credit crunch hit gardening? And in particular the Chelsea Flower Show? This is a topic tackled by Matt Appleby, it'll be interesting to see the impact it has on the show, perhaps we'll be bagging bargains or picking up some money-saving hints for the garden, it all helps.
For other places to check out on-line Chelsea chat, have a look at the RHS blog, with comment from Show Manager Bob Sweet you'll be privy to the inside RHS news from the top, it also features guest bloggers in the form of designers Tony Smith, designer of The Quilted Velvet Garden, Luciano Giubbilei from the Laurent Perrier Garden and others .
I like the Eden blog, but then I would, loyalty to my Cornish home and all that but it's got a lovely mix of the logistical, horticultural and funny sides of creating a garden, have a read.
Keep your eyes peeled; it's a great way to get an insight into the greatest flower show on earth before the gates open, I'm addicted already!
