It’s that time of year again.

Too soon to have any opinions. I am looking forward to the dog friendly garden🦮☺️

I have been once and found it fascinating but tiring. I was allowed to go into a certain show garden as I was an investor with them. Very interesting to go around with the designer.

Whitewavemark2 Love your rose. I don't have any roses in the garden, and yours looks delicious. Does it need a full sun position. If I ventured to get one it would have to go in a semi shaded (autumn/winter) sunny spring/summer space.

I LOVE the King's Rose by David Austin. Fabulous.

Do they have patches in the lawn where the dogs have peed?

Lovely programme today I have never watched it before, so interesting. I would love to visit, but can't walk around it, and would never get my money worth.

Wouldn’t!!! Doh!

I have not been for years, so enjoy it everyone. I can attest that dogs are fairly indiscriminate about where they pee. What does Monty D advise on doing about decimated patches of lawn and brown plants?

But make the most of it as, allegedly, Ange has grand plans to acquire the gardens for affordable housing. (Today's on-line news).

🤣🤣🤣🤣 The buildings and gardens are Grade 11 listed.
I would believe everything you read, if I were you!

Do you have a link, please?

I find that hardly credible!

It looks like Ned's mum and sister might have been invited!

It looks a lot more harmonious than when Peggy and her mum, Millie were reunited with Peggy’s brother, Gloster.
Millie jumped on him covering him with licks.
Peggy jumped on him and nearly took his head off! 😱

I've just bought two. 🐕
Sophie Allport £16 each if anyone is interested.

Ooh yes, I do need new mugs. Thank you for the tip, escaped, some I was looking at were twice that price!

Celebrity dogs only by invitation.

Despite all the talk about a dog’s enjoyment of a garden I’ve yet to hear a mention of wee stains or poo bags!

Dogs will be dogs after all.

I think I heard that the Dog Garden was not being included in the judging. Am I correct?
I think if too many pets are allowed in it will be chaos and ruined! The general public are not usually allowed, so maybe it is only going to be those of the TV and radio presenters involved.

The new puppy is a Jack Russell X. She adores them.

escaped Mon 19-May-25 07:15:51

Do you think Queen Camilla will bring her new puppy, Moley, to play in Monty's garden? I think I heard Alex Jones (the One Show) saying her new puppy, a black lab, is going. 🐕
I'm looking forward to seeing all the gardens.

J52 Sun 18-May-25 21:47:23

I last went the year before Covid. I did find it very crowded and it was hard to see any of the gardens. I prefer Hampton Court and Tatton Park flower shows, less crowded.

Jaxjacky Sun 18-May-25 21:17:53

I will dip in and out, tbh I find it all rather overwhelming and expensive, me and my small garden.
Those going, have a great time, others enjoy the watch.

foxie48 Sun 18-May-25 21:13:05

I am going with a friend, travelling on Tuesday and doing the Cautauld in the afternoon. Wednesday going to Chelsea curtesy of my good friend who is an exhibitor, my ticket lets me go in before opening to general public so hopefully I can see all the gardens in peace and quiet. I've never been so very excited!

merlotgran Sun 18-May-25 20:56:57

I’m envious, tanith. I haven’t been for twenty years mainly because I’m not sure my stamina would hold out these days. Have a great time.

Churchview Sun 18-May-25 20:55:15

I am so looking forward to seeing the song bird survival garden and am hoping for ideas of how to help the birds in my own garden.

tanith Sun 18-May-25 20:36:00

I'm going with my GS on Saturday really looking forward to it muchly.
