I agree with you about the blue fencing and decking man! Why not a
real
gardener but I ask myself is Chelsea for real gardeners?

delurks

can someone tell me what a real gardener is?

I'm still developing my interest in gardening so don't understand
the
distinction that seems so apparent to the group regulars.

Gardeners are the folk whose primary interest is in propagating and
cultivating the plants, including vegetables.

I seem to recall that on a topic as to *what is a garden*, there was some
consensus that a gardener might be one who tends a garden from it the point
of creation &/or beyond that point.
There was no distinction offered on grounds (no pun intended) of plant type,
(veg,flower shrub,tree) or materials incorporated.
