Colour at Chelsea

It was all very lovely at Chelsea –subtle colours softly intermingled with one another in pleasing combinations. It has to be said that the odd splash of vivid colour came as a relief. At home I have a small courtyard garden where I can indulge in my love of bright reds and oranges without agitating the soft colours I use in the rest of the garden – I think we all need a bit of visual excitement, and when it came to the plants used in the gardens at Chelsea, harmony rather than excitement was the order of the day.
