This week saw the start of the new season of RHS Shows. This one, held at the Horticultural Halls in Westminster, had the title of London Plant and Design Show. In the Lindley Hall there wasa lot of exhibitors who were connected to design and roof gardens. Two amazing roof gardens had been created in the hall and there was a large display by the Society of Garden Designers who was offering free design advice. What was a great attraction was the collection of designs from this year's Chelsea Gardens.
RHS Young Designer of the Year 2010, Hugo Bugg presented this roof garden with its lovely green wall.
Melissa Jolly's 'Sky-Green Living' garden with its chic planting and the Portable Forest plaques on the walls (by LsD).
Easigrass had also made a roof garden with their artificial grass and Jenny Pickford's beautiful glass sculptures were very eye-catching.
Oxford Green Roofs had a great diplay of things you can grow on roofs - this collection in a felt bag looked fun.
Over in the Lawrence Hall all the Plant Nurseries had their beautiful displays of Spring planting and there were plenty of customers buying both usual and unusual plants to take home.
The next shows in London are the RHS London Orchid Show and Botanical Art Show 19th & 20th March and the RHS Great London Plant Fair 29th & 30th March.
