ABOUT THESE IMAGES
THIS WAS MY SECOND YEAR SHOOTING PRESS DAY AT THE CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW. WITH SO MUCH TO SEE
AND JUST 8 HOURS AVAILABLE TO PHOTOGRAPH IT, IT REALLY FOCUSES YOUR ATTENTION. THIS YEAR, TO BE
HONEST, THERE WASN’T AS MUCH THAT GRABBED MINE AS THERE WAS IN 2011, IN PARTICULAR, THERE
SEEMED TO BE A LACK OF GENUINE INNOVATION AMONG THE SHOW GARDENS. FOR ME, THE BEST OF THOSE
WAS ANDY STURGEON’S GARDEN FOR M&G WHICH I HAVE PUT A SEPARATE IMAGE COLLECTION ON
SLIDESHARE. IF THERE WAS A PARTICULAR TREND THAT I NOTICED, IT WAS THE ABUNDANCE OF COPPER AND
GREY AMONGST THE GARDEN FEATURES AND THE PROMINENT USE OF GEOMETRIC SHAPES ALONGSIDE
SWATHES OF NATURALISTIC PLANTING, OFTEN FEATURING PREDOMINANTLY BRIGHT GREEN FOLIAGE. THIS
THEN IS JUST THE BRIEFEST SNAPSHOT OF THE 2012 SHOW AND MY TAKE ON WHAT VISUALLY WAS THE MOST
INTERESTING. BY THE WAY, NONE OF THESE IMAGES WERE TAKEN ON THE GARDENS THEMSELVES. I HOPE YOU
LIKE THEM!
