Chelsea Flower Show gets underway

Chelsea is on all week starting tomorrow (Tuesday). If you're going and see anything of interest to fellow Shedworking readers, please drop me a line and a photo. Emma Townshend, who writes The Independent's excellent gardening blog A Nice Green Leaf, has already been having a behind the scenes look before the public gets in and her shedspotting skills are coming to the fore:
"Whilst they were enjoying the sunshine, I snuck a look inside one of the famous "Chelsea Sheds" [above], the backstage areas for all the amazing show gardens. Indicatively, despite the fact that it is the "messy backstage", it is tidier than any real shed of my acquaintance."

  1. Does the Chelsea Chicken Coop in 'Victoria's Backyard' blog count as a shed?
