This is my first ever show garden and I'm really excited that we have been accepted at Hampton Court Palace Flower Show. I'm designing a show garden called 'A Beekeeper's Garden' with my colleague Jonathan Denby.
Mike Vickers and Richard Stamp from J.A.Jones are my main contractors, I know they will deliver the goods, having both had previous show experience and being used to interpreting my garden and landscape designs and planting plans.
This time will be no exception, Jonathan has found us an inspirational sketch of the most beautiful Victorian apiary and we are pulling all the stops out to really do it justice. His joiner, another Richard, has risen to the task and so we have our team!
There will be some nail biting moment in the next few weeks, particularly when I visit the nursery to see which perennial flowers have the potential to look stunning for the week of the show and then thinking on my feet with the ones that get through.
I know the garden will take on a life of its own when the plants are in, nothing can control nature and that's what makes my job so exciting. I might design a scheme but nature will have its own input and create its own beauty.

It's onwards and upwards with my vertical planting but I really do need to crack on and get a roof on my 'house' - trouble is, there's a tree in the way. Still - it wouldn't be Chelsea if there weren't any problems.
