The week has gone by so quickly it's unreal. I feel now as if I'm ready to get into the show. It always takes a couple of days for everyone manning the stand to get into the swing of things. The cool weather has really helped us and I think that the exhibit looks as good now as it did on day one.
There's been a fantastic reaction from the public and the compliments have been lovely. It's been great seeing the same people again at Chelsea, familiar faces that I have met on my garden tours, talks and from the garden, it's a big meeting place.
I'll be incredibly sad to leave so won't hang about today. I'm already thinking about next year's show...I'll be back one way or another!

Lots of places where more chairs could be placed, particularly outside the restaurant by the river road. A roundabout melee trying to find a table with a tray of much needed refreshments.
Also, there are no clues as to how much is spent on the show gardens, surely this is a huge +/-, most money = best designer = prize winner? Could we not have one category where everyone has a limited or ceiling budget?
