The Lady Garden

Personally I think the pic of the " lady garden" is utterly horrible ( laugh)
I would like to thank you all for cheering me up with some witty remarks though (smile)! I particularly like the Cockney rhyming slang.....and ANY reference in jest to GP vagina scented candles is so funny ( laugh)!!!!

It’s not shocking.
FGM is shocking.
If they’d done a garden referring to THAT I’d be impressed.

No male equivalent as its promoting body shop and its founders are women.it says in the link sent by Seadragon.

I'm all for celebrating the human form, our bodies are pretty wonderful things when they're working, and I think it would do society good to be more relaxed and open about them in their natural form.
However, I don't think this is about that, but like everything else these days is over-sexualised. This isn't celebrating the whole female form it's a grubby bit of porn in plant form done to sensationalise and commercialise. Yuk.

Yes,now I've read it Seadragon,it does scream 'advertising for the body shop' at me! (And do the 'young trendies' who've removed all hair call it their 'lady' as they've no 'garden'?just wondered...)

It's ugly and horrible. I'm no prude but can't see the point of this. And why no male equivalent ?

I agree with Kartush.

So are they saying were only 'empowered' by using of our lady bits?

We didnt want to look,Buffybee posted the pic of it!

I thinks it’s quite hilarious, utterly tasteless and a bit ugly and boring ! Come on, at least be a bit more imaginative !! f

Had to check this out. It seems to be genuine and even more questionable in the press release which I also opened:

Hmmm there is no body part on me that looks like it has a screaming skull peeping out of it.......that’s what the proposed picture looked like to me. I agree there is nothing shameful about female genitalia but I really don’t want to see it on a wall, nor would I want to see an anus or a sculpture of the inside of someone’s nostril.

Apparently all the plants used are ones traditionally associated with women's health, too.

??? They've gone quite mad just to pretend the chelsea flower show is still interesting in the 21st century! Its not- unless you're a keen gardening enthusiast,or the Queen.Goodness knows what she will make of it,probably be embarrassed but still try to say something 'supportive' whilst trying to pass by quickly

The vagina is not dirty or offensive and plants are beautiful
If it means conversations about smear tests and female genital mutilation are not considered offensive i am all for it
If to don't like it don't look

They should do a post-menopausal vagina - represented by dried up and shrivelled plants. That would teach everyone to be aware and tend to themselves properly ❤️

Yes, it might get people talking, but it’s really hard to get tickets for the CFS so they don’t need to attract more people.

I don't get it ? Is the Lady Garden supposed to be the flowers around the tree, or the ugly thing on the back wall?
The designer has a weird imagination.

It also has sprouted on my top lip..

At 65 mine has gone from lush and dark brown to sparse and grey is this normal?

Mine has box blight

I am not boasting. I just didn't realise it would change as I got older

It is not a subject I have ever devoted any thought to, until this thread. So it quite educational.

Reminds me of Morning Glory a bit, although perhaps I shouldn't say that in the same breath.

That is very pretty flower Nanthewiser, apart from anything else.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone boast about their pubic hair before. ?
