Looking at the range of companies sponsoring Gardens at Chelsea I wonder
where it's going to stop.
I was thinking if Anusol were to sponsor a garden........
Piles everywhere
Cream flowers
And I hate to think what would be at the bottom

Wonderful! I read that the number of sponsors for the big show gardens
has dropped and that younger blood is coming in, making the smaller
gardens. As the large gardens cost telephone numbers to make, it's
hardly surprising some have dropped out, either through a real lack of
funds, or a desire not to be seen to be throwing money around. Last
night's coverage again omitted far too many plant names, though it did
give some. There was a couple of minutes interview with an Arisaema
grower, giving close ups of the plants but failing completely to tell
the viewer what they were! How I wish the BBC would get a
horticulturist to sit right beside the directors and producers in
programme planning meetings! Gardeners want to see plants, not people
or what they're wearing. Enough of that please BBC. Let's cut to the
chase and show the plants. Hilliers were showing a lovely Cornus in
the Preview (iirc) but its name wasn't given onscreen and I bet a lot
of people would like to know it.
