IMAGES OUT OF THE ORDINARY
ABOUT THESE IMAGES THIS WAS MY FIFTH YEAR IN A ROW SHOOTING AT THE RHS CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW. WITH SO MUCH TO SEE AND ONLY A FEW HOURS TO PHOTOGRAPH IT, IT REALLY FOCUSES YOUR ATTENTION. THIS COLLECTION IS ALL ABOUT ONE OF THE ARTISAN GARDENS. CREATED BY CHELSEA FIRST-TIMERS SERENA FREMANTLE AND TINA VALLIS, THEIR GARDEN CELEBRATED THE ART OF THE SUSSEX TRUG, A WOODEN BASKET THAT HAS BEEN HANDMADE IN SUSSEX FOR OVER 185 YEARS. TRUGS FIRST BECAME POPULAR WITH GARDENERS WHEN QUEEN VICTORIA PLACED AN ORDER AT THE THE 1851 GREAT EXHIBITION AND THE COMPANY SHE GRANTED A ROYAL WARRANT TO STILL MAKES TRUGS THE SAME WAY AS THEY HAVE ALWAYS HAS DONE IN THE VILLAGE OF HERSTMONCEUX NEAR BRIGHTON. THE GARDEN WAS ON A TINY PLOT JUST 5M BY 7M AND FAITHFULLY RECREATED A TRUGMAKER’S TIMBER WORKSHOP, AS WELL AS THE KIND OF VIBRANT COTTAGE GARDEN THEY USED TO ATTRACT PASSING TRADE. IT WAS A MAGICAL TABLEAUX THAT TRANSPORTED YOU BACK IN TIME. THE GARDEN ATTRACTED A CONSTANT STREAM OF VISITORS AND ALSO CAUGHT THE EYE OF THE JUDGES WHO AWARDED IT A COVETED GOLD MEDAL. WHILST IT MAY HAVE BEEN CHOCOLATE BOX KITSCH, THE ATTENTION TO DETAIL WAS IMPRESSIVE. IT WAS ALSO VERY PHOTOGENIC, SOMETHING YOU CAN’T ALWAYS SAY ABOUT SHOW GARDENS AT CHELSEA. I HOPE YOU LIKE THE IMAGES!
