FOREGROUND
OUTSIDE
INSIDE
A week after my visit to the Chelsea Flower Show in London, I’m tidying up all the material I gathered there. On the paper, the lists of plants, designs and explanations reveal intentions and details that I missed during my visit. The attention to the environment, the choice of spontaneous plants combined with clipped hedges, the use of water or the introduction of strong architectural elements are framed in ideas that give to what seemed plain gardens a story and a purpose.
There is no need of explanations for the bold flowers inside the Great Pavillion, instead, neglected in the gardens, they triumphed in the crammed bags hastily carried towards Victoria Station on Saturday afternoon.
I always like the atmosphere, the polite and interested crowd, the bizarre ideas, the unnecessary items, and the abundance of flowers. And, entering the gates without knowing too much.
I really love your writing style that you are using for your posts and stuff,
