Re: What big events do you have zero interest in?

[(Anonymous)]

Never underestimate any artist (and garden design is as much art as any other) when it comes to politics. Scathing satire and brutal parody have always found a home in the arts, gardening as equal to any of them. Be interesting to see which way they go with it. Since most of them will be finalising at least the 2nd or 3rd draft of the garden and ordering plants and landscaping for it pretty soon then the political landscape they are dealing with is the one we're in right now. I mean they can tweak it, but you need to order plants pretty far out from the event, so the draft designs have to be done by now.

I didn't even know there were such big events for gardening. It sounds interesting, honestly. Is that a UK thing?

Very much so. There are several big events, Chelsea is the biggest but Hampton Court, Malvern, Gardeners World Live, and Gardening Scotland are big too. Chelsea is the biggest of the big with direct Royal Patronage and taking place in the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea with Chelsea Pensioners. All involve show gardens on themes, exhibitors and some degree of tv coverage, Chelsea gets a full week of BBC coverage, with three to five hours each day over the week it is on. Lots of large local shows around the regions, and there is the Big Allotment Challenge, a sort of GBBO only for Gardening and Allotmenteering too.

That does sound very involved and expensive. Too bad if your garden becomes irrelevant before then.

Always a risk when planning a show garden of any sort, especially when it involves large political events. It is why show gardens have tended to target broad social trends, or just general bland technical achievement, lately. That is boring though. Show gardens should push the boundaries, not retreat into hardlandscaping and mass bedding like so many have done. Risk is important to all art. And as long as it has the technical achievement in its execution it will never be a total bust by trying for something more, just don't make it all about the technical skill like a lot have.

Competitive gardening sounds very stressful compared to regular gardening.
I want to see this now.
