00:00Hi, I'm Heather from Ideal Home and I am bringing you a very special new and now from RHS Chelsea
00:05where I'm sharing my highlights from the show plus the one thing I will not be bringing home
00:10to my garden. I always come away from the show full of ideas and this year it was all about
00:14colour for me. I already have purples in my garden at home but I've resolved to add pops of peach,
00:19apricot and burgundy. I was really inspired by the Lady Garden Foundation's Silent No More garden
00:25which was my personal favourite. Water features and rainwater harvesting was a big takeaway again
00:30this year and I feel like I need to upgrade my teeny pond in a pot. I'm also desperate to
00:35add a rain
00:36chain. Grasses are something I'd love to include in my own garden but I get really overwhelmed by the
00:40choice. There were plenty of beautiful examples in the Chelsea gardens and I made sure to take
00:45lots of notes to help me pick some for my space. A couple of other quick highlights included the
00:50Around the World in 80 Seeds greenhouse with Alatex not just because of the gorgeous greenhouse
00:55which is definitely on my bucket list. I came away with some beans to plant and it was so creative.
01:00I also loved the wishing tree on the Woodland Trust's garden with messages from supporters on
01:05these beautiful ceramic tags. And finally the RHS may have let them through the gates this year
01:10but it is a hard no from me. While the gnomes on the King's Foundation garden may have been slightly
01:16cuter than your standard variety they still freak me out. Not in my garden thank you. It's been a long
01:21but brilliant day now I'm heading home to put my feet up.
