    For those who live in other countries and cannot attend The Chelsea Flower Show, we appreciate your sharing this with us. You took your time to show us so many ideas we can take away to our own gardens. Thanks so very much.

    Well there's far too many things to even begin to comment on so I'll simply say I thoroughly enjoyed this little trip to the Chelsea show and want to say thank you to Jenny and Olivia for transporting us there. 😎✌️💚

    Living in the US, I’ve heard of the Chelsea Garden Show but had no idea until your tour just how massive it is. Thank you so much for showing us around to all the highlights. The show winning Agapanthus was amazing! You and your daughter are beautiful!

    • @MurphysGarden
      @MurphysGarden  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you so much, I’m really glad you enjoyed it. It really is massive and there is just so much to see. It attracts visitors from all the over the world, we heard several American accents! We went for the first time three years ago and it has become our must see ritual. A lovely mother/daughter trip and Olivia’s ambition is to one day have a garden there herself! We can but dream!

    All the flowers in our gardens, where once upon a time weeds , they have just been improved
    !!! Please give the new ones time to reach that status .
    Thank you lovely coverage of the small industry’s at Chelsea

    • @MurphysGarden
      @MurphysGarden  ปีที่แล้ว

      A weed is only a plant growing in the wrong place. A gardener who edits allows for weaker insect beneficial plants to flower where they may otherwise be choked out by something more pernicious. In our garden verbena Bonariensis is a weed, I love it and its great for bees but I don’t want a monoculture and a garden full of just that one plant, I want other sources of nectar too. A interesting topic which I will do a video on soon

      Thank you, I can’t think what EB stands for, am I being a bit thick? It must be something I mentioned but I can’t think what, would love to know. I’ve visited Bodnant Gardens several times and it’s a beautiful garden

    I have a big native flowerbed and even it needs weeded a couple if time during the growing season.

    • @MurphysGarden
      @MurphysGarden  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, some things are more invasive than others and it’s up to the gardener to decide how best to manage things. Glad to see at Chelsea this year, the whole weed obsession has passed, all the gardens were fabulous, can’t wait to share them- just editing the footage!

    I think we should be focusing more on native plants, it's more sustainable. Weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them and their value.

  • @amyjones2490
    @amyjones2490 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I’ve noticed that pollinators if given the choice prefer “weeds” or as I call them wildflowers.

    • @MurphysGarden
      @MurphysGarden  ปีที่แล้ว

      I think if a garden is full of a diverse range of plants which flower at different times of the year, then pollinating insects have the maximum benefit. Allowing one plant, be it a ‘weed’ or ‘wildflower’ to dominate results in a monoculture. Our garden has so many more birds and insects now than when it was just long unmowed grass. I will explore this topic in a future video but thanks for your comments

    • @MurphysGarden
      @MurphysGarden  ปีที่แล้ว

      They are lovely. I think they are Calocephalus brownii 'Extra Silver' (grow in full sun, in a South-facing or West-facing aspect in a sheltered location
      H3)
      Hope this helps

      Not sure what variety it is but it is Pollyanna Wilkinson’s Chelsea 2023 garden ‘women in horticulture’. She’s on instagram and you could drop her a message and see if you get a response.

    “Up” to London.

    • @User57885
      @User57885 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      On a traditional map, North is often depicted as being at the top, giving the impression that moving "up" corresponds to moving North. However, this convention is arbitrary and chosen for convenience. There is no inherent reason why North should be considered "up" and South should be considered "down." It's merely a convention for map orientation.
      In terms of gravity and Earth's physical orientation, there is no literal "up" or "down." The idea of "up" is relative to our position on Earth. If you were to dig a hole in London and another person dug a hole in a location considered "up" on a map, you would still be standing upright, relative to your surroundings, and not floating away. Gravity keeps us grounded, making the concept of "up" or "down" relative.
      When it comes to air travel, the direction to London can vary depending on the flight path and prevailing winds. Airplanes take routes that optimize efficiency, fuel consumption, and other factors, which may result in routes that do not correspond to the direction indicated on a map. Airlines use flight paths based on navigation systems, weather patterns, and air traffic control, rather than adhering strictly to the notion of "up" on a map.
      The concept of "up" and "down" on a map is a human construct. Different cultures and civilizations throughout history have used various orientations for their maps, with no definitive "up" or "down" direction. It's essential to recognize that this perspective is subjective and influenced by societal norms.

      @@User57885 thank you for that, very interesting. As a Brit, one only ever goes “up to London’ regardless of topographic/ cartographic coordinates. It’s a cultural phrase not a topographic fact. I think its to delineate the importance of the capital and the fulcrum of the Crown?
