The insect tower's just fab isn't it? Puts mine to shame!<br /><br />EG - I believe some of them have acquired qualifications/jobs along the way so there's been a lot of benefit from this garden. That's why it's so special. I enjoyed your report on your visit :)<br /><br />Deb - I'd love it if you did :)<br /><br />OFB - I could have said a whole lot more about these gardens, but I hope I've done them justice with my short summaries!<br /><br />Yolanda - I'm seeing new stuff in there just from looking at my photos! <br /><br />Arabella - a great garden and a challenging one as there's a lot there which people wouldn't normally associate as a garden, but I think we'll have to going forward. I like how the accompanying literature has practical solutions for where each component might be used. And the garden's going back to Sheffield afterwards which is fantastic. As for Quilted Velvet, you could see elements of the Hampton Court conceptual gardens that the designer's done couldn't you? I'm still making my mind up about it!VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-79894780242160663652009-05-24T19:17:52.299+01:002009-05-24T19:17:52.299+01:00I agree VP Future Nature was a lovely garden - ful...I agree VP Future Nature was a lovely garden - full of colour and interest and I would have thought that kids would love it too. It was the one that stood out as being quite different apart from the Quilted Velvet garden which I thought was quite interesting but you couldn't live with it.Arabella Sockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10936438011119860497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-47569516956487294072009-05-24T16:48:45.604+01:002009-05-24T16:48:45.604+01:00I loved Future Nature too, from what I could see o...I loved Future Nature too, from what I could see of it on telly, so I'm not surprised that you liked it so much. ;-)Yolanda Elizabet Heuzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506031220151023088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-27976332933939750432009-05-24T13:09:19.509+01:002009-05-24T13:09:19.509+01:00Thanks for explaining Future Nature, VP!

I wish all prisoners and homeless people could be involved in community gardening and have a chance to have mutually respectful interactions with other gardeners over a shared passion.our friend Benhttp://ourfriendben.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-34221652445072718822009-05-24T04:40:11.098+01:002009-05-24T04:40:11.098+01:00Someday when the boys are grown and taking care of...Someday when the boys are grown and taking care of themselves, I hope to see it for myself.Aunt Debbi/kurts momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05663049154538571378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-51509886828816332812009-05-23T20:59:04.269+01:002009-05-23T20:59:04.269+01:00I enjoyed Chelsea this year.

Can't help but wonder if the various helpers are feeling a bit let down now the project is finished. I would like to think there was some long term benefit.easygardenerhttp://greenforks.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-56808350927165463772009-05-23T19:38:27.709+01:002009-05-23T19:38:27.709+01:00Your reports make me feel like I'm there!

Unfortunately the videos are "not available in my area." ITV also locks out their videos for US web visitors. I don't know why.
