GROW FOR IT

The third week in May is synonymous with the Chelsea Flower Show, an annual celebration of all things gardening.

Every year, garden designers strut their stuff on the Main Avenue and the Great Pavilion is filled with the heady scent of exhibition flowers at their finest. It's also a showcase for new plants and celebrates the work of breeders and nurseries who strive to produce plants that will perform better in our gardens.

This year, there are new variations on old garden favourites from roses to clematis to wall flowers, so here's what caught my eye.

Raymond Evison is simply Mr Clematis - there's nothing he doesn't know about this species and he's been growing and cultivating them in sunny Guernsey since 1985, earning him an OBE from the late Queen Elizabeth as well as countless gold medals at the Chelsea Flower Show.
