So much to love at the Chelsea Flower Show, pleached hornbeams among them. #chelseaflowershow #pleachedhornbeams #parterre #showgarden

What a treat to visit the beautiful Ladbroke Square with new Instafriend @charmajestylinens and her darling friends. #Ladbrokesquare, at 7 acres, is the second largest private garden in London and lovingly cared for by talented garden designer Sarah ___, her volunteer committee, one fulltime gardener, and one helper. #londongardens #privategardensoflondon
