Thought I'd let you know what some of the directors are up to. It's hard keeping track, their schedules are very full, preparing, filming, editing and then starting all over again!
Director Ginny is off to Liverpool with roving reporter Wesley Kerr to make a film about William Roscoe which is the inspiration behind the Liverpool City Council exhibit at the show. Director Anya has been following Shao Fan's progress down at the showground, his garden, I Dream, I Seek my Garden is his first ever show garden, and as if that wasn't enough it's the biggest in Chelsea's history! Anya was there on day one to witness a Buddhist Abbess blessing the site before construction began. That's certainly a film to look out for. Another director, Anja (confusing!) has been editing her film about Rubus, she went to visit collection holder Barry Clarke in Hampshire to find out all about his love of unconventionally beautiful plants, brambles essentially!
Earlier this month Anja visited Japan with Wesley (well travelled is our Wesley!), find out about their journey to meet Haruko Seki, designer of Garden in the Silver Moonlight.

We are the Chelsea Guerilla Gardeners.
A hardy bunch of mildly eccentric men and women who transform the neglected gardens and grot-spots of south-west London.
We have perfected the art of using free materials and donated plants.
Rocks from the river thames, logs from felled trees and saving the thousands of outdoor plants that are thrown away by local concils every year.
If you are interested in our work please send me an email or message and I can send photos of the gardens we have created
