    Not only did you provide a comprehensive tour of the Chelsea flower show, you provided necessary background to the design of these gardens that really enhanced the meaning behind them. Thank you; even if I was able to attend this infamous show, I would still listen to you and watch your video! 🥰🌸🇨🇦
  • Just loved your video on Chelsea. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Brilliant!❤

    Thank you for sharing the Chelsea Flower Show with us. There so much inspiration in these gardens and I’m happy to know that they’re promoting environmentally conscious gardening.

    So nice to see a lot of beautiful women wearing dresses and looking at flowers
  • Wonderful. Thank you so much for your thorough and professional video. Enjoyed it so much. All the best to Olivia with her show garden - look forward to seeing it if you happen to be filming it. Fran Australia 🇦🇺
  • Thank you for a brilliant interesting video! Such hard work all round!👍
  • @lizzishaw
    Brilliant video! Beautifully put together and packed with interesting information and tips. The BBC should take notes! Thank you for the time and energy it must have taken to do.
  • @sumik8
    That was a wonderful & I am very excited to follow your daughter on her show garden journey!
  • Thank you for taking us along and providing such great explanations. It’s a rainy day here in my part of Canada so this is a lovely distraction.

    Thanks for sharing my video Jenny. Glad you enjoyed the show, there's so much that goes on that I didn't get a chance to film but did my best with what I had. Its a privilege to see all the gardens come together and work alongside some of the best in the business. But I am glad to have a week off after it all!

    Thankyou. I'm a landscape designer and completely missed Chelsea, so thankyou for the catch-up and your beautiful voice 🌿💚
  • Thank you for taking us along with you ,some place I could only dream of going to. Love the over view of your property , what a fabulous area you live in .💐

    What an awesome day you had! Thanks for showing us some amazing gardens. Good to know that each garden has a grade on reuse and recycle...especially concrete. Water was quite a focus this year by the looks of things. Loved the design that won gold by Tim Massey, probably no relative, but he looked thrilled and you captured that. It must be a dream to be with like-minded people. Now you can make lists of plants you might want to incorporate in your garden and perhaps some water features for wildlife. Running water sounds so calming and effortless. Thanks again for this video. In dull and cold NZ winter... really perked me up.😊 Jo.
