One of my highlights at this year's show has been the 'Art in the Garden'. As you wander around the showground you come across a variety of work from fibreglass cows to steel, pine and charcoal sculptures, as well as more traditional artwork, using willow and oak. moorcroft.jpgNot to be outdone however, many garden designers have used art in their show gardens. The Moorcroft Natural Woman Garden incorporates a handcrafted Moorcroft tile featuring the garden's plants, bees and butterflies. There's even more artwork from designers who are showcasing their work here. leaping_hare.jpgOne of my favourites is by an artist who has created leaping hares from twisted, plastic-coated wire - he's really managed to inject movement into his pieces. I'd love to take one home but I can't afford the price tag.

Chelsea is always full of surprises and this year is no exception. A lot has been made of the fact that there are fewer show gardens than in previous years because of the credit crunch, but that doesn't mean the show won't be good. Looking at what the RHS has planned, there are still plenty of exciting exhibits and the showground is brimming with different fe atures. In many ways this will make for an even better show, as the exhibitors and designers have really had to think creatively about how to make the most of the plants and resources they have. I can't wait. Roll on show time!
