Welcome to Day 2 of my special coverage of this year’s Chelsea Flower Show. Today, I talk to up-and-coming designers about the trials and tribulations of building a show garden at Chelsea
When Beth Chatto first displayed her naturalistic garden at Chelsea, they tried to ban her, telling her they were just weeds. I'm sure she's have a laugh at where they are at now.
Pretentious, over-crowded and over-priced it may be, but I love Chelsea, especially the Pavilion. Seeing the stunning displays people put their heart and soul into is overwhelmingly positive. Celebs, rules yayas and all, its still full of beautiful plants, and that can only ever be good.

Did your interviews kindle your own interest in maybe becoming an exhibitor yourself? Might we look forward to an Earthworm entry in 2023?
