Re: Chelsea Flower Show
Thanks for the second site. It, too, was slow loading at first but got
better when viewing the individual gardens. The rotating cubes all worked
for me, though I wish they could have been larger. Besides the six cubes,
there are another five small garden cubes. It might be worth a trip back to
give them a second chance. It was intriguing viewing the gardens from so
many perspectives. In the 'City Garden' you could virtually lie on the
ground and look up at the sky and the tree tops; something I did in my
grandmother's small city garden when I was a child. From my point of view,
Paul Cooper's 'Flying Garden' is not to be missed. The '23 gardens walk'
had some splendid gardens, a couple of which were included in the 'cutting'
gardens (a Souvenir from Chelsea which could be enlarged from the thumbnails
to full screen. I also found a couple of the gardens too dark for optimal
viewing, but the rest of them made up for it.
