Hampton Court Flower Show: Wet and Green
The Hampton Court Palace Flower Show is being held in the rain this year and visitors are being warned to wear their wellies because the mud is muddy.
The Hampton Court Palace Flower Show is being held in the rain this year and visitors are being warned to wear their wellies because the mud is muddy. The green, as in environmental, theme is prevalent in a surprising number of the display gardens with the emphasis on drought tolerant plantings. The big show stopper is the 1966 Bentley, standing on end and filled with plants. Created by the surprise winner at the Chelsea Flower Show in May, a 77 year old eccentric who had never been to a flower show, let alone make one, it is a statement about the environment: an honourable retirement for "a petrol-guzzling, fume-emitting dinosaur".
