Well done that man. Very nice indeed.

Fabulous! Lovely 'dreamy' colour scheme.

The mind boggles at the amount of time, work and growing skills it must have taken to get from the drawings to the end result.

Congratulations!

(ACE - I have to ask - did you think the gold medal garden was even better than yours or was you robbed?)

We knew there were a few mistakes from a judging point of view, so the medal was well recieved. There is very little between gold and silver gilt, but the public will love it and that is our main concern. Watch the telly next friday and you should see it featured quite a bit and tv coverage for macmillan is what it is all about. They do not judge garden against garden everybody could get gold if they were all good enough. Once we lost gold and best in show on one garden because the gate was 2 inches too high, so judging is very tough.

Saw the garden in all its glory yesterday, took a load of photos but there are plenty here already! It looks lovely 'in the flesh', and I am not usually keen on pink flowers either.... ;D I was pleased to see a little bit of mosaic work around the small pond, very 'Ace' ;D

Whoops forgot the mosaic. If you could view the garden from above the patterns of planting in the garden follow the design of the mosaic.

Lot of pink Ace

Pink is very Gay

Not that I am against people being gay of course. Just that it is a surprise to me because you always seemed so, shall we say, HETRO.

If you are coming out then.

Congratulations

Me! a bit light on the loafers! How very dare you ;) My input is mostly construction, the designer loves pink and I am not one to argue. Mind you I have got in touch with my feminine side and started shaving my armpits ;D

Good to see it on the telly, I hope all our helpers got a buzz from seeing their efforts on the small screen. It all comes down tomorrow evening. I hope we sell a lot of plants and props at the sell off.

Busy weekend now after our short sort of rest. We load some of a garden on the lorry for Hampton Court tonight, deliver it tomorrow morning, then on to the NEC to breakdown the Gardeners World garden, back to the nursery for another load for Hampton, then start building 'Loves Last Adieu' on tuesday. with help from Tin Shed. Not such a big garden as this one but very different.

What with travelling, building, and fitting in dressing out a wedding marquee in between jobs, I don't know if I have been 'punched, bored or countersunk'.
