00:00Flowers
00:30Hello and welcome to the Royal Horticultural Society's Chelsea Flower
00:35Show 2025, an event supported by the Newt in Somerset. We're kicking off an
00:43exciting week here on BBC Two where we'll be touring the showground to bring
00:47you plenty of new design and planted ideas for your gardens. There's a huge
00:53amount of innovation across the show gardens, big and small, and the level of
00:59horticultural excellence on display in the Great Pavilion is as high as ever.
01:03Now obviously it's great to be back here at Chelsea and for all of us it's one of
01:09the highlights of our year and I realise I've now been doing it, oh for nearly 40
01:13years, an awfully long time and yet the joy and the enthusiasm never wanes. Is that the
01:20same for you? Yeah absolutely the same for me because I'm a London girl, this is my
01:23local show and I remember coming here with my parents so it's a special place
01:27for me. Well you live in London too. Well I do live in London, so it is local but I kind of I guess my
01:32most of my memories were when I'd come here in my fashion days, we'd be sent
01:36down, go and have a look at the colours, the textures, because of course that all
01:39influences fashion, but I guess a big pinnacle moment was doing a 2021 show
01:45garden, only autumn show ever, on this very plot so now Monty, you're here. It's my turn to do it, I've taken the baton. I hope that I've sort of honoured
01:56your memory, kept the tradition going. It's quite an experience. It is. This is your year Monty, this is your garden, it's fantastic. Well it's certainly one of the
02:07gardens getting a lot of attention from the world's media and famous faces, so
02:12here's all the action from press day.
02:19It's just a wonderful celebration in nature and all its different forms, we
02:23have all of these gorgeous flowers that come out this time of year. And artists
02:27putting together these gardens really beautifully and they're all so
02:29different, there's lots to look at. My favourite, the Hospice UK one, the
02:34Garden of Compassion, it's really beautiful, a beautiful space, it's got a
02:37lovely feeling about it. I'm addicted to Chelsea, I think it just makes you wake
02:43up and realise that things are happening in the gardening world that you're not
02:47doing in your garden. I have to say I'm really loving being here, it's fantastic
02:52atmosphere, it's really beautiful. It's thrilling, it's gorgeous, this year is
02:57enchanting, lots and lots of sort of wild looking gardens which gives you hope
03:01because you look at your own garden and think I'm not so far off it. It's actually my
03:06second time. And it's my first time today, I always wanted to go but I've been busy.
03:11She invited me. I've been wandering around, you know, mostly the bars and Josh
03:19said no you've got to go in these gardens. I had no idea. He was doing it all wrong.
03:26It's always something that's in my diary, coming to the Chelsea Flower Show and
03:30it's just nice to get some inspiration, you know, I try to garden, I'm not going
03:35at it but I enjoy it. I like it, I love gardens, I love to look at stuff and I
03:41love to be around people that know how to do it. So that's what I'm hoping, you
03:44never know, some of them might turn green.
03:49Seems to go without saying, it's very beautiful, there are lots of lovely
03:53flowers. The Japanese moss garden is pretty incredible, just find it such a
03:58kind of philosophical and mindful place.
04:03Yeah, I just think, I think what's great about here is it doesn't really matter
04:06how big a garden you've got, there's something for everyone, do you know what I mean?
04:15Well, it was my first experience of any dogs at Chelsea, let alone my dog and a
04:23lot of dogs, there was a moment here early in the morning when it was true
04:28pandemonium, I mean there were dogs going, they were wrapping around people's legs,
04:31there were photographers and I remember Ned, who is a sweet boy, he said, you know,
04:36look this way Ned, smile Ned. Really? But I think, I mean I heard they were all very
04:42well behaved on the whole. No one did anything ghastly. Good, good. Okay. It was alright.
04:47Hold on to that. Time to set aside my designer's hat and to get back to the
04:55business in hand. So coming up, from dramatic landscapes to peaceful havens
05:01and cutting-edge innovations, we'll be taking a first look at some of the
05:05finished show gardens. There's an inspiring mix of different planting
05:10trends on display and all week Adam Frost will be showing you how to create
05:14some of this year's looks, starting tonight with a border that's big,
05:19voluminous and colourful. Plus with nearly 90 world-class exhibits to enjoy in the
05:25Great Pavilion, there's a huge diversity of plants and horticultural expertise
05:30all under one roof. Francis will be exploring the ultimate plant universe.
05:36And bringing plants never seen before at Chelsea, all the way from the Caribbean.
05:41The Antigua Barbuda Horticultural Society and we follow their journey as
05:46they prepare to make their Chelsea debut.
05:50First tonight, this is the King's Trust Garden, seeding success. Designed by Joe
05:56Perkins, it's a garden with a strong message at its heart, which is that in
06:01the right conditions, both people and plants can thrive. Now the garden
06:06celebrates His Majesty the King's passion for gardening and for
06:10transforming lives. The King's Trust, formerly known as the Prince's Trust,
06:15supports young people to build confidence and develop essential life
06:19skills and access job opportunities. Since it was founded, it's helped more
06:24than a million young people. Well the message in this garden is very much
06:28about resilience and Joe set the scene with these enormous pine trees. This one
06:34weighs a whopping eight tons and it's 14 meters high, the biggest tree ever
06:39brought in to Chelsea. And then the planting around it also just sort of
06:43backs up that plants can thrive in very difficult conditions. So we've got things
06:49like Craspidia, lovely little poppies everywhere and the original, the daisy,
06:54which is really sort of tough. And also Dorcas carota, which I've seen growing in
06:59coastal conditions and that can withstand almost anything that nature
07:03can throw at it. The message that all of these plants are dispersed by seed and
07:07how important it is that they're in an environment that they can thrive in.
07:12At a glance you could think the design of this garden looks quite hostile, quite
07:16challenging, the use of this kind of moody grey basalt throughout. However all
07:21the materials have been reclaimed and recycled so it's to give that sense of
07:26having another chance. Now the communal area is about bringing people together
07:30and I really love how the seats in this garden are all carved out of wood and
07:36have all taken the shape of beautiful seeds. So there's a lot of hope within
07:41this space, you have to look beyond and really see into it.
07:46Joe, such a wonderful garden with an incredibly strong atmosphere I think, but
07:51you can't miss these screens, tell me about those. The glass screens for me,
07:55well they're an artwork in themselves, but they are the way that I brought to
08:00life the theme of seeds in a visual way for visitors to the garden. They
08:04represent seed dispersal, so it's this idea of seeds being carried from one
08:08situation to another and that for me is symbolic of the the results of the work
08:14of the King's Trust. You get a very strong sense of that I think. And I hear that you've
08:17actually had people from the King's Trust down working with Young Garden,
08:21young people. Yeah, we've had three, they've been fantastic, they've been
08:25involved throughout the process. So for example, going back to the glass screens,
08:27they've done a workshop with James Cockrell, the glass artist, they've been
08:31up to the tree nursery with me to see the trees, they've been to Olly Carter
08:36who made the furniture and spent a day with him doing some woodworking and
08:40then of course they've been here on the garden doing the planting, so they've
08:43been involved at every step of the way and it's been fantastic to see their
08:47confidence grow through the process. Well it's a phenomenal garden isn't it,
08:50really strong, so good luck with the rest of the week and of course with the medals.
08:54Thank you very much both of you, thank you.
08:59The Japanese designer Kazuyuki Ishihara is a familiar face here at Chelsea.
09:05He's renowned for his impeccable gardens representing the beauty of Japanese
09:10landscapes and believe it or not this is his 17th show garden but nevertheless
09:15it's his first on Main Avenue and I think it's a triumph. Now this is a
09:24Japanese tea garden and there are certain very set rules and principles
09:29behind that because the idea of a tea garden is that you shed all the world
09:35and the baggage that goes with it as you approach the tea house, so the progress
09:40is slow, you take in the beauty, you stop and you wash your hands, you would
09:45admire the garden in all its glory, so by the time you reach the tea house you
09:51are ready to focus on the tea ceremony itself, you really get the feel of this
09:56and as he's moved to the bigger space here in the full drama of Main Avenue I
10:04think it is a complete triumph. Now Mr Ishihara is here with me, he doesn't
10:09speak English but he has got a translator here, Juno, so I'm going to
10:13talk to him through her. Hello, I think your garden is wonderful, how was it moving from a
10:21smaller garden to a big garden?
10:28It was very easy to build up.
10:38You come back to Chelsea year after year, what is it, what draws you back to Chelsea?
10:43Every year your gardens have a theme, what is the message from this garden here?
11:14Less is certainly more, I think this is the best garden you have ever done, and I wish you, I'm sure it will be a great success, thank you.
11:33In the Great Pavilion there is an astonishing diversity of plants from all over the world,
11:38produced to be at their very best now.
11:42Frances Topper went to discover what it takes to create this horticultural universe.
11:51Here in the Great Pavilion there is a huge and eclectic range of flowers and foliage,
11:56and all of them are cultivated so that they are exactly at their peak for this one week in May,
12:02no matter when they naturally would be, and that is a really hard thing to do.
12:12If the Great Pavilion is all about celebrating the diversity of plants,
12:16then this stand really sums it up, because it is a massive ode to the incredible range of flora
12:23that can be found in South Africa.
12:26If that wasn't enough, they have also managed to get hundreds and hundreds of protea flowers in this display,
12:32and even in South Africa I wouldn't expect these to be flowering until at least next month.
12:38Now having dahlias in full, profusive flower now in May is such an amazing achievement,
12:44when most of our dahlias are just beginning to shoot now.
12:47But Procter's Nursery have done just that, and the way that they do it is by never quite letting the tubers go to sleep,
12:53so keeping them at about three degrees for the winter,
12:56and then letting them sit in the shade for a week or two,
12:59so that the tubers don't go to sleep.
13:01The way that they do it is by never quite letting the tubers go to sleep,
13:05so keeping them at about three degrees for the winter,
13:08and then in January starting to heat them up and increase the light levels.
13:12All these dahlias have just had one liquid feed about two or three weeks ago,
13:16and it's not to get them big and bulky and flowering,
13:19it's just to perk up what's already growing and make it look really healthy once it arrives here at Chelsea.
13:32This looks absolutely incredible,
13:34but especially when I think that all my daffodils have been long gone for like weeks,
13:40but how many flower stems are actually here?
13:42So of the 6,000 that were cropped, there's only 1,000 on the stand.
13:47Okay, so there's not a huge amount of room for error.
13:50No, not at all.
13:52Well it's really paid off, it looks immaculate.
13:58Orchids are one of the biggest families of flowering plants in the world,
14:02and as such, they come in a hugely varied and diverse range.
14:07This year, in the Great Pavilion, there is a whole area dedicated solely to this amazing plant.
14:15But it's not just plants that you'll find here.
14:18On the Cayley Brothers stand, they have to make sure their mushrooms are perfect.
14:23So what are the challenges of bringing mushrooms to the Chelsea Flower Show?
14:28Timing on the varieties of mushrooms that we have in our display.
14:32All of them grow very differently, and all of them take different lengths of time.
14:36So the reishi take longest probably for the stand, they were inoculated late last year.
14:40And then we have something like the shiitake logs, they were inoculated a couple of years ago.
14:45Then we have something like a cordyceps, an orange beautiful fungus that's grown on brown rice,
14:50and that's taken a few months to grow, it's quite a specialist mushroom.
14:53And do they last a long time, mushrooms, once they start to fruit?
14:56Not really, you've got seven to ten days for them to be looking perfect.
15:00Well, it looks excellent.
15:03They're just so beautiful, as well as edible.
15:08There's a real sense in the Great Pavilion of the horticultural community
15:12all coming together from around the globe to share their hard work.
15:17And while we're all familiar with glorious displays from the Caribbean,
15:21the islands of Antigua and Barbuda have never been represented here at the show until now.
15:28Well, we went to visit them as they prepared to make their much-anticipated Chelsea debut.
15:35This is one of the most beautiful coastlines with all the islands dotting around.
15:41I enjoy the view, but the plants are the main focus.
15:46I'm Barbara Chappell, and I'm the current president of the Antigua-Barbuda Horticultural Society.
15:52My garden is a reflection of me on Antigua, Barbuda, and Barbuda.
15:58I'm Barbara Chappell, and I'm the current president of the Antigua-Barbuda Horticultural Society.
16:02My garden is a reflection of me on any given day.
16:06I love plants, so I buy a plant and I put it in the ground.
16:11I have no real plan.
16:14So this is a bromeliad garden, of which I have many bromeliads.
16:17And they make wonderful ground cover, and they create beautiful spaces in the garden.
16:25I live at Lindsay Hill, which is in the center of Parham.
16:28It was a neglected area, and no one lived here, so we purchased a small building.
16:33It's just under two acres of land, and everything we started from scratch.
16:39Part of my garden are desert roses, which I just love.
16:43They're easy to take care of, and there's a variety of colors.
16:46They are drought-tolerant because they have a cortex at the bottom where they hold water.
16:52So this is a great plant for Antigua.
16:55Antigua-Barbuda has the typical tropical hurricanes.
17:00Lovely breezes during the winter, and then it gets a bit warmer.
17:04Come August, it's rainy season, and it's a stormy season.
17:10The Antigua-Barbuda Horticultural Society was started around 1956, and then it went dormant.
17:16I restarted in 2010 with a group of friends.
17:19When we started at the Agave Gardens, we decided to do a dry garden.
17:23So the plants were chosen based on the fact that they had to be self-sufficient.
17:28Welcome to the Agave Gardens.
17:30We have 10 types of aloe in this garden, and they flower at various times of the year.
17:36We have a variety of agave.
17:38This is the tricolor agave, and this is the silver agave.
17:41We have what we call the wild medicinal garden.
17:44A lot of them are tea bushes as well.
17:46They do medicinal things, but also you can make tea with them.
17:49So this is pissebeds.
17:51It is alleged that the parents would put this in the bed because it's a very rough leaf, like sandpaper.
17:57And it would itch the child's bottom, and she would wake up in the middle of the night and not pee in the bed.
18:06The Horticultural Society is a growing, very vital organization.
18:09We have volunteers, and we do great outreach for the community.
18:14We teach backyard gardening. We teach composting.
18:17We have three or four ladies who give floral arrangers classes every year.
18:21So it is a very active society.
18:24We have a seed bank, and the seed bank interests a lot of the schools.
18:29We have the little seeds club.
18:31They come in and plant a seed.
18:33It's really exciting.
18:36We were accepted to display at the Chelsea Flower Show this year,
18:41after having tried to do so for the past ten years.
18:44Everybody was very elated.
18:46And we have two particularly good friends, which is Barbados and Grenada.
18:51Barbados is absolutely a gold, silver medal winner for years, and so is Grenada.
18:57They got the President's Award last year.
19:00We literally call them up and ask them questions on just how it works.
19:05The ladies there have been wonderful.
19:09I'm Michael Hunt.
19:10I'm principal designer and creator of the display that's going to Chelsea Flower Show.
19:17Okay, so this is a mock-up of our Chelsea display.
19:22Our display is called A Glimpse into the Past.
19:26So we've gone for elements that reference, I guess,
19:29the past of a lot of the islands' histories in the Caribbean.
19:33So rum, sugar.
19:36These are conch shells, and we're using this in this bay in quite a striking way.
19:41This is just a section through the conch, which I've cut with a diamond grinder.
19:46And it gives you two interesting pattern elements,
19:49depending on which way you cut the shell.
19:51So this incredible conch and shell and beach park starts at the shoreline
19:57and it ends up at the end at the beach,
20:00which we will represent by displaying blue-colored plants
20:05we hope that will resemble the ocean.
20:08Rumbowes have had them charred,
20:10and we'd like to have running through, a reference to slavery.
20:14So these chains are plaited from strips of the palm leaf.
20:19We knew that the pineapple played an important role in the past of Antigua,
20:23so we immediately called Grant Joyce,
20:25because he's the man who grows the Antigua black pineapple.
20:30Pineapple requires good drainage and acidic soil.
20:34So these volcanic hills, it's excellent for pineapple production.
20:39We're growing about 20 acres of pineapple.
20:42They're called the Antigua black pineapple because when they're immature,
20:45they're actually dark shell color.
20:48It's almost blackish-purple.
20:52Grant, as you know, when we get to Chelsea, the pineapples have to look perfect.
20:56So you've devised this incredible method.
20:58We've devised this method.
20:59It's cut from the plant and we put it in water here,
21:03because we do have a week between the time that we pack
21:07and the time that the shows begin.
21:10The taste of the Antigua black pineapple is one of the most important things.
21:13So let's give it a taste.
21:14Okay, let's go.
21:15A lot of people hearing the Antigua black, they think it's got black flesh.
21:19Oh, wow.
21:20Take a bite.
21:24Delicious.
21:27The island of Antigua and Barbuda will be on the world stage.
21:30The entire community is aware of just how important this is going to be for the island.
21:36We're all ready to go.
21:38We're very excited and we're going to be fabulous.
21:42Nervous!
21:44Yes.
21:49And here it is, the very first exhibit by the Antigua-Barbuda Horticultural Society.
21:55So welcome to the Great Pavilion.
21:57It's lovely to see you, Barbara and Michael.
21:59Thank you, Rachel.
22:00Thank you very much.
22:01And I know you were nervous, but it is indeed fabulous you've done it.
22:05I know also it was a little bit tricky.
22:07You had a few bumps along the way.
22:08Tell me about that.
22:09Well, we were just a little bit late receiving our goods.
22:12Slight delay getting them from Antigua to the UK.
22:16We've overcome it on the very last day.
22:18We could breathe.
22:20We had all stopped breathing.
22:22So you were working here very late.
22:24We were working here very late, yes.
22:26Are you pleased, Michael, with how the design has come together?
22:29Yes, with all the fidgeting we had to do at the end, last minute,
22:33I'm quite satisfied with what we've come up with.
22:36I think it's fantastic.
22:37I love, first of all, your conch shells that we saw being made.
22:41It's so effective.
22:43And, of course, the famous pineapples.
22:45Right.
22:46It couldn't be without pineapples.
22:48We figured we weren't going to be able to compete with the flamboyance
22:51and exuberance of our cousins in the region,
22:54so we'd go for sort of whimsy and interest and inventiveness.
22:58I think it's absolutely wonderful.
23:00What are your favourite plants on the display?
23:02Well, what we decided to do was look at what we call a glimpse into the past.
23:07The dama, we call the dama falodea from Barbuda.
23:11So we tried to represent everybody.
23:13Michael kept saying, why do you keep throwing the pink sand?
23:16The pink sand comes from Barbuda.
23:19So I think the fact that we've had the representation from our sister island
23:24is really exciting.
23:26Very inclusive, is Barbara.
23:28And how have visitors been reacting to the display?
23:32Very interestingly, I think the two big features
23:35are Michael's incredible cocktails and our famous Antigua black.
23:40Yeah, your Antigua black is wonderful.
23:43I think it's fantastic.
23:45Congratulations to you both.
23:47It's so exciting, isn't it?
23:48First time back next year?
23:51We'll have to sleep on that.
23:53Our artistic director, for sure.
23:56He's exciting.
23:58Fantastic work, really is.
24:00Well, across this week, Adam will be exploring
24:03some of the key planting trends that we're seeing here at Chelsea this year.
24:08And there's a really diverse mix of styles.
24:11Tonight's Bordermaster class has a nod to nostalgia,
24:15but with a modern twist.
24:29When it comes to planting design,
24:31I think sometimes we get sucked into the detail.
24:34Work out how you want something to feel, and then you create it.
24:40Romance, elegance, classic.
24:44Easiest way to understand this planting is to look at it in layers.
24:47So the trees have gone through.
24:49Zelkova and the birches.
24:52Then we come down a layer.
24:54And what Joe's done is work shrubs through the sites.
24:57So things like the Deutzia, but then also something like Euonymus.
25:00Completely different shape and form.
25:03Come down again, and you've got these wonderful copper beech domes.
25:09And they create this rhythm, and they move the eye through.
25:12Next layer down, I suppose, that creates that structure and form is the roses.
25:17You've got things like Wild Rover and Tuscan Superb.
25:21And then we're down to the herbaceous perennials,
25:23which will sing their way all the way through the spring, summer, even into autumn.
25:28And then the final thing, which I think is beautiful,
25:31is sort of short-lived perennials and annuals like the poppies.
25:35So you get this sort of really lush, as I've said, romantic feel to the planting.
25:43And then if you added spring and autumn bulbs to that,
25:47you would really have a garden that carried you through the whole year.
25:54I think this garden really proves you do not need a huge space
25:59to create that same feel, look, atmosphere.
26:03If I take this little area here, still trees, still shrubs,
26:08but all slightly smaller.
26:10Over here we've got a rose. That's her structure, plus flower.
26:14And then if you come down a layer, you've got the herbaceous perennials, irises, digitalis.
26:20But then we've got grasses, which just sort of provide this lightness.
26:24And top of that, you've got the fennel.
26:26And I think if you start to think about how many different leaves,
26:30how many different finishes we put in our garden,
26:33once that flower goes, you've still got real interest
26:37that carries you through a large part of the year.
26:41So, if I had to pick one plant that encapsulates the feel,
26:47the style that we've been talking about,
26:50it would have to be these.
26:51The bearded iris, the colours, the array.
26:54Think about the moods you could set.
26:58So there we go.
26:59The easiest thing to do is think layers.
27:01Trees, shrubs, grass, flowers,
27:04and then you've got a garden.
27:06The easiest thing to do is think layers.
27:09Trees, shrubs, perennials.
27:11It's really not that complicated.
27:13Go out and have some fun.
27:19I'm so excited to see the rest of these borders as Adam explores them,
27:23and also whether any colours really start to come to the fore.
27:27Well, already, I mean, some have stuck out for me.
27:30I mean, I think Jo Thomson's garden, for example, has got a colour palette,
27:33which is quite unusual, and I haven't seen at Chelsea for a long time.
27:36Well, she does do that, but also there are pops of yellow,
27:39so do look out for that around that ground.
27:41Absolutely.
27:42Mellow yellow.
27:43Still to come tonight on the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025,
27:48an event supported by the Newt in Somerset,
27:51the much-anticipated annual visit from Their Majesties the King and Queen.
27:56And I sit down with acting royalty,
27:59one of the UK's most popular actors, Richard E Grant,
28:02to ask him about why his garden has become an important sanctuary.
28:07And as stalwart designer Tom Hoblin has announced
28:10his tenth garden will be his last,
28:13we caught up with him to find out why.
28:16But first, as our weather becomes increasingly unpredictable,
28:20our gardens need to be increasingly robust and, above all, resilient.
28:25One show garden here is demonstrating just that,
28:29providing a glimpse into what the average-backed gardens in the UK
28:33could look like in the very near future.
28:36Sophie joined them as they embarked on their garden build.
28:44So, Baz, this is your garden, save for a rainy day is its name,
28:49not a drop of water in sight, but just give us an idea of what it's all about.
28:53We've set the garden about 25 years in the future.
28:56We're looking at the effects of global warming on flood and drought in particular.
29:00The garden is designed to manage water,
29:02so we direct the water around the garden to the areas that we want it to go to.
29:06I love this. Beautiful.
29:08That's the main structure, which is a cantilever.
29:11That's designed to collect rainwater,
29:13and that will flood down through the back of the garden
29:16where we will collect the water and be able to use it for irrigation.
29:19Amazing. Well, a moment of Chelsea history is about to take place.
29:23This is the first 3D printing ever carried out at the Flower Show.
29:27Let's go and have a look.
29:31What is it building?
29:33These are the sections that go across the top of the steel structure.
29:36So what it's creating is very similar to the walls that you've done behind.
29:39How long do they take?
29:41So the big wall, I think it's about 70 minutes, roughly.
29:43I mean, this one will be about 10 minutes or so.
29:46If you had to build something like this in the traditional way,
29:49bricks and mortar, how long would it take?
29:51We had something similar last year in the garden,
29:54and we had three guys for six days.
29:56Six days? Yeah.
29:58So the concrete... Yes.
30:00..has been put into that machine, mixed with water... Yeah.
30:03..and it's coming out through here,
30:05and this machine knows how to do it,
30:07because you've put that into the computer. Yes.
30:10You give it a model structure shape,
30:13and it will then take that material and make it into that 3D form.
30:18I love it. We're witnessing a bit of history.
30:20Chelsea history.
30:30Wow, Baz, what a transformation.
30:32Amazing. How's it going?
30:34It's going very well. We've had a few ups and downs,
30:36but things are really moving fast now.
30:38Now, last time I was here, a week ago, you were doing the 3D printing.
30:42I mean, none of that was up.
30:44So you were printing, what, one of those sections?
30:46This section on the end, actually, that's the one.
30:48Yeah, we had a lot of fun moving them around and getting them up there,
30:51but now they're there and we've added the colour to them,
30:54they're really taking place.
30:56So it's all about the water now, I can see that. Yes.
30:58So talk me through what is going on up there,
31:00because that's where the water's going to run, isn't it? Yes.
31:02So we've got cantilever troughs that go in here, which capture rainwater.
31:06They are the same material as the fence in the back,
31:09so it's a Douglas fir wood. Beautiful, yeah.
31:11The water will then drain down into the pond, which is here.
31:15That will then flood down into here, and this is the flood zone down here,
31:18and then it will drain away and we'll do it all again.
31:21So you're going to fill all this up with water today? Yes.
31:23Wow, that is a big moment, isn't it? It is.
31:25So we'll wash it all through, fill it up again, wash it all through again,
31:28and hopefully the whole system works.
31:30So in a week's time, I'm going to come back, it will be almost done, won't it?
31:34Hopefully. No, in a week's time, we should be done, yes.
31:37We will be done. It'll be the last bits and pieces,
31:40little detailing, the last few plants.
31:43But, yeah, we should be there.
31:45I can't work out whether you're just very relaxed
31:47or you're just telling me you're very relaxed.
31:49I'm OK. I usually start to get nervous around about next Thursday.
32:01Wow, Baz, this is amazing. What a transformation.
32:04You've got water and everything. That's fantastic. How's it going?
32:07It's OK. OK? It's OK, yeah. Only OK.
32:10A few problems, but... Oh, go on, tell us.
32:12Been a few issues with the water, but that's fine.
32:14We've got that sorted, so it's running.
32:16Just making sure that everything works.
32:18I love the flow of water. It's mesmerising, isn't it? It is.
32:21Now it's obviously on to the planting. How's that going?
32:23Yes. It's OK. We're a little bit... You keep saying OK.
32:27Why do you keep saying OK?
32:29When you write the plant list, you have all these lovely plant ideas
32:32and plant combinations, but when you get here,
32:34you've got to make sure they work and you have to find that rhythm.
32:37It's just making sure that everything works horticulturally.
32:40I love this idea of a rhythm. You just know when it's right. Yes.
32:43You'll look at it and go, OK, that works, and away you go.
32:46You've only got, what, three more days, is it,
32:49until the judges come forward? Let's call it four.
32:52Just to make you more relaxed. I am feeling good.
32:54We've just got to nail the planting,
32:56so that's why everything's a little bit tense at the moment.
32:59It's like conducting an orchestra, isn't it? Yes, it is.
33:01Getting them all to play together.
33:03You need to get on with it today, don't you? Good luck.
33:05I'll see you when it's all done. Thank you.
33:11And just three weeks later, we're here on the finished garden,
33:15and I have to say, I think it's incredibly impressive.
33:19Of course, these big statement features of the water,
33:23the water collected, the computer-generated concrete
33:26mingled in with the stone, and that blend is very clever
33:30because it enhances both.
33:32And these timber beams are effectively troughs.
33:35They fill up and then they overflow and they flood the garden,
33:39and it runs down through the gully.
33:41So the point being is the planting has to cope
33:45with being extremely wet and extremely dry,
33:48and, of course, this is the pattern for most of us
33:50that we're having to deal with climate change.
33:53But it's beautiful. It's not like it's just a message.
33:56It's actually a garden you want to be in.
33:58Now, this area does feel, at the moment, because it's not flooded,
34:01dominated by the stone, it's fairly dry.
34:04The planting, which is exquisite, is sparse,
34:07but the garden is big enough to absorb different areas
34:10with different feelings.
34:12Yes, I think this area has got more of a woodland feel to it.
34:16So we've got this wonderful pine tree with a cinnamon-coloured bark,
34:20and that picks up on this Douglas fir fencing,
34:23very much in the same colour tones.
34:25And again here, the Prunus macchii, just a smoother bark,
34:30also in that lovely, rich, spicy colour.
34:33And then coming through,
34:35the plants here are all selected to be resilient.
34:38I mean, they're tough plants that can cope
34:40with all sorts of changes in growing conditions.
34:43So things like the Geum, called Mai Tai,
34:46that's a beautiful, soft apricot, also with the lovely foxgloves,
34:50and there are little poppies dotted through as well.
34:53I just love those colours together.
34:56I have to say, Baz, I love this garden.
34:59So congratulations on that.
35:01Obviously the message is very strong and important.
35:04Do you think this kind of adaptability, which is quite extreme,
35:08is something we are all going to have to deal with?
35:11Definitely. I think the management of water,
35:14particularly over the next 25 years,
35:16is something that we're all going to have to do.
35:18I'm very aware there are different parts of the country
35:21and they have different things.
35:23How do you control this so you control how much it floods
35:27and how the water is distributed?
35:29That's the idea.
35:31We use simple landscaping to do that,
35:33manage the water around the garden,
35:35take the water to where we want it to go.
35:37We've said it in the south of the UK,
35:39but you could roll this out across the whole country.
35:42I mean, the planting is exquisite.
35:45Is this, do you think, a garden that will keep looking good,
35:48or at least the basis of it, throughout the year,
35:51sort of fixed in a moment in time?
35:53It's Chelsea, so we have fixed it a little bit,
35:56but we have some succession.
35:58We've got plants that we'd normally see at Hampton Court, for example,
36:02or flowering shrubs, so there is a bit of succession.
36:06I do think it looks wonderful.
36:08It's a fascinating story, a beautiful garden,
36:11so good luck with the motors.
36:16At Chelsea, designers go the extra mile
36:20to push the boundaries and show us innovations
36:23that could influence the way we garden in the future,
36:26and the designers of the small spaces are no less ambitious.
36:30This is the Wildlife Trust's British Rainforest Garden,
36:34designed by Zoe Claymore.
36:36Rainforest used to cover one-fifth of the British Isles,
36:39and now only 1% remains.
36:43Zoe has taken inspiration from the Dark Valley
36:46and compressed it into this small space,
36:48but I can still see all of the details that are really important.
36:52That's all the mosses and the lichen
36:54that are running through all of the planting,
36:56and using plants that are British natives,
36:59such as the Bluebell and the Cow Parsley.
37:01And although this might look like a landscape,
37:04there are definitely details that we can take to inspire us,
37:08allowing moss to creep through some of those damper spaces,
37:12letting the wildflowers come in.
37:15I think in our gardens, we can allow our connection to nature
37:19to come through if we let go
37:21and let things become a little bit more wild.
37:26From the ambition of a slice of British rainforest
37:30to an entire Scottish landscape,
37:33this is Sea Wilding by Ryan McMahon,
37:36highlighting the importance of restoring marine biodiversity.
37:40And he's done that by bringing in the seagrass
37:43and creating this lovely beach area with shells and rock striation.
37:48And you can even imagine yourself being there
37:50because he's given us the smell of the salty sea.
37:53But then he's pushed on and made sure that the landscape
37:56has now come up into this rock-formed area,
37:58these great big gorgeous boulders,
38:00and surrounded it in much more naturalistic planting
38:04within the Scottish landscape.
38:06You've got to remember, this is 6x8 metres.
38:09This is what I really love about these gardens.
38:12Small spaces, big ambitions.
38:19Now, my guest tonight has been coming to Chelsea for 35 years,
38:24and he is now one of our most respected and popular actors.
38:29Oh, Richard.
38:30He is, of course, Richard.
38:32Richard, I don't know how you feel about saying you've come here for 35 years,
38:36but you have, haven't you?
38:38I'm glad to be alive, Monty.
38:40Yeah, 35 years I've been coming,
38:42and what happens every year that you come
38:44that I'm sure that every person that comes has,
38:46is you have this sort of overwhelming covetousness of thinking,
38:50oh, that's what I should have, and can't I have that,
38:52and how have they done all this?
38:54Because your garden is pretty much the same sort of age, I gather.
38:58You've had a garden for that period.
39:00Do you come shopping when you come here for ideas and plants?
39:03Ideas, and I take video and buy plants and buy stuff,
39:08and my main obsession, because I have an evergreen garden,
39:12because I can't bear them looking all like that in the winter.
39:14I mean, obviously your background is in the South Africa,
39:18so your whole sort of influences are not British gardens.
39:22No. Southeast Africa, Swaziland, where I grew up, is now called Eswatini.
39:27It's subtropical, so gardenias and roses grew abundantly there,
39:32whereas now, when I'm here, I have to put them in a greenhouse.
39:35And your garden, you say it's mainly evergreen,
39:37but have you evolved as a gardener?
39:40Yes. I think that you, you know, stuff dies on you,
39:45and then you've got to fight back at it,
39:47and then other things that you think are never going to survive
39:50suddenly reappear, and that's the glory of doing it.
39:54I'm a complete amateur.
39:55I've never had a professional gardener in or designer,
39:58so everything I've learnt is really by trial and error.
40:02Why did you garden? What made you start gardening?
40:06Because I think that if you're in a profession as transient
40:11and ephemeral as show business is,
40:14where people are in one day and then out the next,
40:17a garden is there and is going to keep on growing no matter what happens,
40:21and it just, you know, I think that it affords you
40:25the most profound and deep pleasure.
40:28And planting stuff and having your, you know,
40:30this is the only day of the year that I can wear an all-white outfit
40:33because I'm looking at the gardens rather than having my hands in them.
40:37Normally I'm in a tracksuit with no shirt on,
40:39and, you know, nails ruined by being in the mud and the ground a bit.
40:44And did you garden with your wife?
40:47I did, yeah. She loved gardening.
40:49She absolutely loved gardening, Joan did.
40:52And because she had terminal lung cancer,
40:58and so we knew right from her diagnosis
41:02that our time together was, you know, measurable.
41:06So she did say to me four days before she died and to our daughter,
41:11try and find a pocketful of happiness in each day,
41:14which was a great mantra to sort of navigate the abyss of grief
41:18rather than thinking you've got to win the lottery
41:20or win an Oscar in my profession.
41:22So being cognisant of what joy you find in small things
41:27that you may have taken for granted.
41:29So plants and gardening have been an incredible healer for that.
41:37And she did ask, she said, at her cottage in Gloucestershire,
41:40she said, I want you to bury my ashes
41:43underneath the cherry tree that's in the middle of the garden.
41:46And even though it's been over four years now,
41:49that's the one thing that I've not been able to honour yet.
41:52I just can't do that because I think, well, if I go away,
41:55then I can't take the cherry tree with me.
41:57So I haven't done that yet.
41:59Well, I think finding a pocketful of happiness every day,
42:04and I know so often people say that gardening is this healing thing
42:08and it is a life that endures.
42:10Yeah.
42:11And we're all part of that.
42:13And it's going on beyond you.
42:14Yeah, absolutely.
42:15Well, enjoy Chelsea.
42:17Find lots of happiness here.
42:19Thank you very much for talking to us.
42:21Thank you very much.
42:26This week we're looking at some of the standout,
42:28most spectacular exhibits over in the Great Pavilion,
42:32ones that really showcase what is possible to achieve with plants.
42:36Carol Klein is taking a closer look at one of them.
42:45This is the Blue Diamond Garden Centre's exhibit.
42:50And if you love plants, then this display has got it all.
43:02Having entered through this glorious, romantic rose-covered arch,
43:09immediately you're surrounded by a wealth of beautiful cottage garden plants,
43:14all those things which are so familiar.
43:17Delphiniums, foxgloves, all in glowing white
43:21and a perfect contrast to what has to be the epitome of cottage gardens,
43:26the lupine, this time in a lovely, smouldering sort of purple,
43:31which is picked up by the Caecium rivulare atropopurium,
43:36this gorgeous thistle.
43:38Oh, it's just dreamy, but this is just the start of it.
43:50And who wouldn't just love a hideaway, a reading nut like this?
43:56What I love most about it is this inspired use of vertical space
44:01with these hanging pots, coca-damas, suspended from the ceiling of the glasshouse.
44:07I think they're just wonderful.
44:09And all this Spanish moss hanging down, it really makes the whole thing much more intimate.
44:21Well, at first sight, you might think that this lot belongs in a glasshouse.
44:26It's got that sort of subtropical air about it,
44:30but not a bit.
44:31Everything here can be grown in British gardens.
44:35This beautiful Zantadesha is from South Africa,
44:38but completely hardy in British gardens and very often seen.
44:42But all together, what a wonderful mixture to create that kind of dramatic effect.
44:48And on the other side of the path, this beautiful hosta, Devon Green,
44:53a new introduction with these solid green leaves.
44:56The texture in here is just out of this world.
45:04I've sneaked back into the glasshouse, not just for a sit down,
45:08but also to introduce you to this beautiful new fuchsia.
45:12It's called Mambo, and it's being entered into the RHS Plant of the Year competition.
45:18As well as being new, it's got to display innovative qualities,
45:23and in this case, that is because it starts flowering really early.
45:27It goes on way, way, way into the summer and autumn.
45:31And what's more, it's very compact.
45:33It's the perfect plant for a pot on the patio or anywhere.
45:40After 10 years, one of Chelsea's best-loved designers
45:44has decided to hang up his flower show hat
45:47and make this year's show garden on Main Avenue his last.
45:50It's an ambitious challenge that's a real passion project for him.
45:57I've been doing Chelsea since 2006, and this will be my tenth garden,
46:02and I'm sad to say it'll be my last garden.
46:05But I want to do this last one because I'm doing it for Hospice UK,
46:09which is a charity that's very, very close to my heart.
46:13A hospice garden has many roles to fill.
46:16Primarily it's for end-of-life care, but also for carers,
46:19family, staff, bereaved people.
46:24We're calling it the Garden of Compassion,
46:26but the atmosphere I want to create is one of a firm connection with nature.
46:34My name's Tom Hoblin, and I've been a garden designer for 29 years.
46:40I chose to go with a Mediterranean theme
46:43because that's something that's very close to my heart.
46:46A lot of Mediterranean plants are naturally very fragrant.
46:49They attract a lot of insects and birds.
46:52It brings sound.
46:53So that's why I think that a Mediterranean theme
46:56is an ideal theme for a hospice garden.
47:00I'm planting out some mumbles that I collected
47:04in the Taygetos Mountains in Greece.
47:06I think they're called Tordelium, but the reason why I'm planting them
47:10is because I need them to go to flowers so I can actually identify them.
47:14But I'm growing these for Chelsea.
47:16In the 30-odd years I've been going to Chelsea,
47:18I've never seen this before.
47:20And if it is what I think it is, that's going to be amazing.
47:26So this is my gravel garden.
47:28I promised my wife this would be a beautiful rock garden,
47:31but it's become much more of a laboratory.
47:33When I was at Kew, we used to collect plants
47:37and trial them back at Kew and things,
47:40and I sort of got a bug for it.
47:42Now, every year, I apply for a special licence to collect,
47:45and I bring stuff back here and trial it
47:48to see if we can use it for climate-resilient planting schemes.
47:52We've got a lot of failures
47:54because we just can't quite cope with our climate yet,
47:58but we also get a lot of successes,
48:00and it's these successes that I'm going to take to Chelsea this year.
48:03I've got this lovely Phlomis called Tizian Test,
48:07which came from Spain.
48:08What's so lovely about it,
48:10it has a lilac, mauve-y flower,
48:13unlike anything I've seen before.
48:15Another thing I'm particularly excited about
48:17is this Thymus ciliatus,
48:19which is a wonderful plant that we could never have grown 20 years ago,
48:23but because of climate change, it's happy as anything here.
48:28Chelsea's really important to me,
48:30not just because it's my last one
48:32and I'm doing it for a cause I feel very strongly about,
48:35but it's because of the family aspect as well,
48:37because I've got my son Harry involved.
48:41In my day job, I grow hundreds of thousands of peat-free UK native trees,
48:47but this year I'm also growing over a thousand plants
48:51for my dad's garden at Chelsea.
48:53These few thousand plants caused me more headaches
48:57than 300,000 trees would.
48:59The hardest thing about growing these plants
49:02is managing the water, particularly to over-watering.
49:08H, I think we've got a bit of green fly going on our dianthus.
49:12I'm worried about them getting a hold in here.
49:15Ladybirds will be back soon.
49:17Yeah, it'd be good to bring in a few thousand ladybirds now, wouldn't it?
49:22I'm very proud of Dad.
49:24I was a bit shocked when he told me he was going to do another Chelsea garden,
49:28but I should be used to it by now.
49:30He swears it off every time he does one.
49:32This, in theory, is Dad's last Chelsea.
49:36I think I believe him this time.
49:41Probably the main feature of my garden
49:43is what we're calling the Together Bench.
49:45It's made from a wind-fallen oak,
49:48and it's been cut up into tiny pieces
49:50and bent into this sinuous curve,
49:52which mimics a valley stream in the Mediterranean
49:55coming through the garden.
49:57And it's very tactile, very comfortable,
50:00and will really tie the whole garden together.
50:03I've always celebrated craftsmanship in all my work,
50:06and I find that we're in an age now
50:09where we're in complete technological overwhelm.
50:12Everything's completely automated and made by machines.
50:15And my sort of knee-jerk reaction
50:17is to go right back to true arts and craftsmanship.
50:20So I want to make sure that everything in my garden
50:23is made by hand.
50:25And being made by hand is so important,
50:27like in hospice care, hands-on care.
50:29You know, it links together really nicely.
50:32I'm trying to make a spout for my water feature,
50:35and it's all about the sound
50:38of being able to govern this trickle
50:40coming off and landing in the bowl,
50:42because obviously sensory experiences
50:44are very important in a hospice.
50:49It's quite good, cos it shows off the grain of the wood
50:52when it's wet. I quite like that.
50:54And I think going into a bowl, you'll get a nice noise.
50:58One thing I won't miss about Chelsea
51:00is the fact that you're sticking your head above the parapet.
51:03But I think I will miss the buzz and the adrenaline
51:06and how you get this energy that seems to last
51:09right through this whole month of May.
51:12I really hope that people realise
51:15a hospice garden can be a really exciting garden,
51:18and that they can see the positive experience
51:21that hospice users can get out of a garden.
51:26And here is Tom's finished garden,
51:29the Hospice UK Garden of Compassion.
51:32Now, when I first came up here yesterday,
51:35cos I always do a walk around,
51:37the thing that struck me were these enormous paths,
51:40these huge slabs, which are absolutely lovely.
51:43I love a bath.
51:46But it's pretty radical for a Chelsea garden,
51:49although I've been involved in a hospice garden myself,
51:52and of course you need wheelchair space.
51:54Well, this is it. Obviously, I think the idea is the fact
51:57that you've got these huge slabs, this pathway,
52:00to give you the sense of what it's going to be like
52:03when you might be in a hospital bed.
52:05You need to still come outside, and I think that actually, yeah,
52:08Tom has been quite brave to put this amount of void space
52:11in a garden, but I think it's also to sort of demonstrate...
52:14Is that what we call it, void space?
52:16It's a void space. It's a void space, just so that you know.
52:19But, I mean, these beautiful benches. Yeah.
52:22I love the sense, as Tom was talking about,
52:25they're not perfect, and that means they're not perfect.
52:27They're a bit wonky. Yeah.
52:29What do you think of the planting?
52:31Well, I think the planting, you know, this Mediterranean sort of sense,
52:34again, we're sort of seeing this resilience idea through the gardens.
52:37And, you know, there are pops of colour, the poppy comes through.
52:41The level of it, I think, is more deemed for when you're sitting down
52:44within it, because obviously, you know,
52:46we're able to stand up and walk through.
52:48But I think it's just a case that also is, well,
52:50we know how Tom loves his plants,
52:52but he's wanting to showcase those unique plant elements.
52:55Yeah, I mean, it's...
52:57This Mediterranean garden, again,
52:59we're all dealing with climate change.
53:01It's very much about that, isn't it?
53:03I mean, he lives in a dry part of the country,
53:05and that has all been focused in. Yeah.
53:08I mean, I think, in many ways, this is a very radical garden,
53:11which is not really what I expected.
53:13No, not at all. Not at all.
53:15And maybe that's part of Chelsea.
53:17I mean, you know, I think if we'd have seen that brief on paper,
53:20would we have said it was going to be like this?
53:22But I think there is a braveness,
53:24because the layout, the choice of plants...
53:27Let's see what Tom has to say about it.
53:30Well, Tom is here, so let's talk to him.
53:32Hi, Tom. Hello. Hello.
53:35Oh, Tom, you grew all of those plants and the success of it all.
53:39Are you happy with them? Did they all come through?
53:41I'm thrilled with them, actually.
53:43It couldn't have been better.
53:45We've had just the perfect spring and the perfect build weather
53:48to grow Mediterranean plants in Mediterranean conditions.
53:52It's been a pleasure. And is your son still speaking to you?
53:55Yes, he is. He's been upset about the woad,
53:57because it rooted through the pots, through into the ground,
54:01and now it's all sprouting up everywhere through the nursery.
54:04I know this is geared towards the hospice movement,
54:08and I've worked a bit on hospice gardens myself.
54:11Tell me about the layout and how that's influenced the design,
54:14or if it hasn't.
54:17Obviously, as you know, there's a few key things,
54:20and it's to provide different areas for different uses.
54:23So we've got sort of more communal areas
54:25where people can come and sit together,
54:28or if you want sort of solitude, you can sit on your own.
54:31But I've really sort of tried to accentuate,
54:34to make it a very sensory experience and ground people.
54:37So that's why we've got these big boulders,
54:40because you naturally feel grounded.
54:42And the more grounded people at end-of-life care,
54:45the more grounded they are within Mother Nature,
54:48the more positive it can be at a particularly difficult time of life.
54:52And it's not just for the actual end-of-life care patient,
54:56it's also for their families, bereaved people and things like that.
55:00So a hospice garden has to work really hard.
55:03Well, I think we're kind of both eager to say,
55:06with all of that knowledge,
55:08you're surely not going to have this as your last Chelsea garden.
55:11Oh, I don't know. I'm now in my 60s now,
55:13and I do think it's time to hand over to some younger people.
55:16I want to mentor other people so they can come to Chelsea.
55:19Well, good luck with the medals.
55:21Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you.
55:27Earlier today, Their Majesties the King and Queen
55:30paid their annual visit to RHS Chelsea.
55:33Sophie joined the Royal Party.
55:39The Royal visit is always a highlight for the designers and growers
55:42who put so much into this show every year.
55:45And this year, there are a number of gardens
55:48that have very personal connections to the King and Queen,
55:51starting with Monty's, the RHS BBC Radio 2 dog garden.
55:56And the King and Queen are being shown the names of four of their dogs
56:00that have been engraved on the brick path in Monty's garden.
56:04Bluebell, Moley, Beth and Snuff.
56:08I think Ned was quite a star attraction during that visit.
56:12How was it? It was good. Of course it was good.
56:15They were very kind about the garden and interested.
56:18The King, I think he enjoyed the garden.
56:20He liked seeing Snuff, his dog, there.
56:23The King is arriving at the King's Trust garden,
56:26formerly the Prince's Trust, now in its 49th year.
56:29And this garden has been built with the help of three young people
56:33who've all benefited from the King's Trust.
56:36The King's been introduced to Alfie,
56:38who's one of the three young people who've helped build this garden.
56:41And Alfie says the help that the Trust has given him has changed his life.
56:45What was that like? I mean, it's absolutely wonderful.
56:48Definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I will never forget.
56:53More than 12 years it has taken David Austin
56:56to come up with a rose that is fit for the King,
56:59and now he is finally seeing it, the King's rose.
57:02You've worked on it for a long time. Did he like it?
57:04He loved it.
57:10What does it mean to you to have the Queen visit your garden?
57:13And what you've told me is your last Chelsea, although I don't believe you.
57:16That's great. The Queen visited, so I don't need to do another Chelsea garden.
57:20That's it for me.
57:21And the Royal Tour ends with football royalty,
57:25David Beckham, gardening royalty, Alan Titchmarsh,
57:28and, of course, the King and Queen themselves.
57:33Well, a royal visit is always a special thing,
57:36and doubly so for me this year.
57:39Thankfully, Ned behaved himself. That was my big worry.
57:42Now, tomorrow is Medals Day, and I am so relieved I'm not part of that.
57:48But for almost everybody else, it's the big thing.
57:52So let's have some predictions.
57:54Arit, a gold medal, gold medal garden.
57:57Come to me.
57:58Well, I have to say, I think Tom Massey and Jay Hand's garden on Main Avenue
58:02is very strong this year, very strong.
58:04Well, I was really impressed by Mr Ishihara's garden.
58:08I always like it, but it hasn't always got a gold medal.
58:11I think the transition to Main Avenue is golden.
58:14I'm going to go inside to the Great Pavilion and choose David Austin
58:19because the roses are sublime this year.
58:22OK, well, we'll see. We'll find out.
58:24We love to hear from you, and every night this week
58:27the three of us will be answering your questions.
58:30If you have a question about Chelsea, plants or gardening,
58:34please get in touch via the hashtag AskBBCChelsea.
58:37And all the details are on your screen now,
58:40and we will answer as many of them as we can throughout the week.
58:44Well, that's just about it for tonight.
58:46Our coverage of Medals Day here at Chelsea
58:49kicks off tomorrow at 2pm on BBC One with Nicky and Angela.
58:53And we will be back here at 8pm tomorrow to review all the results.
58:59So until then, bye-bye.
59:02Goodnight.
59:23..when Alison Hammond is looking for gossip.
