Chelsea Garden Show 2009

Sweden have problems selling the mobile phones and the cars, the national hockey team don’t win anymore however the Garden design is the best in the word so it can’t be wrong to change job now.

In UK it is called the Daily Telegraph garden but we know who made the design on the gold medal winner but also best in show garden. We also know the suppliers of the stones and decoration
“Ulf Nordfjell in his design that combines the heritage of cottage gardens with Scandinavian modernism”
It’s a lot to see in Chelsea and to many ideas to digestive. One garden that appealed to me is Tomoko Osonoes “The modern rock garden where he picks up the energy from rock plants and displays them in a different way.


To walk in the Hyde Park Rose garden is awesome

I also monitored the refurbishment work on the old Kensington garden before my feet went on strike.

Left work 18.05 on the boat 18.25

On the island I found daffodil by the sea

there is progress in the early potato project

Dactylorhiza latifolia (L.) Soó

and the garlic needs water

My placement

I had a wonderful sunny week. We planted a garden, and at the greenhouse we arranged and maintained these lovely flowers.
