Chelsea flower show

Maybe gardening and stuff like that is dorky, so what… I have to get my ass to the Chelsea Flower Show, or The Hampton Court. Anyway, just feel in love with some of the gardens, you can easily see what I like, green, lush and “messy”...
Geoffrey Whiten along with Brett Landscaping and Building Products managed to create this little piece of heaven for the Chelsea flower show. How nice would it be if this was your backyard? A cute little shed to keep gardening tools, perhaps have some tea in and maybe even store dahlias in the winter? And maybe, maybe grow some seeds in the early spring? Aw, so nice, rusty old stuff, green shrubs…
This “garden” from Hampton Court was just so… beautiful and sad. A lot of native British wildflowers are apparently threatened and this garden is a tribute to the plants that are no longer with us, their names are on the headstones. It’s called “The Fallen” and was made by Sim Flemons and John Warland and “Piece of Green”

A whole bunch of people were behind this garden, (AOA Corporation Co, Ishihara Kazuyuki Design Laboratory Oshima Shipbuilding Group, AOA Corporation Co Kazahana Co) and I LOVE the green moss walls, how cool are they? And more important, how can I make one?
