Hampton Court - Winner

[TonyF]

Our nephew has just built a garden at Hampton Court which has won a Gold Medal and also the Best Conceptual Garden Prize. It's called The Pansy Project and it's about fighting homophobic hate-crime by planting pansies - get it? - at the scene of homophobic attacks.

Our nephew has a gay brother and two gay cousins, one of whom is our daughter.

We're absolutely thrilled for him of course and the rest of his team but what a great way to highlight hate crime, with plants/flowers.

The link to the main project is here: The Pansy Project - Home

And the RHS link is here:

Hampton Court Palace Flower Show / RHS Gardening

Hope the links work!

Wondering if it will be on TV tonight?

[Flummery]

Just seen it on the Gardeners' World programme which is featuring the concept gardens. They didn't say much about it but it spoke for itself - it was stunning!

I know I said I was giving up watching the programme but I switched on because it was about the gardens.
