The famous Gravel Garden at Beth Chatto's

'The World's Greatest Living Gardener'...that is Beth Chatto, according to Monty Don. And Beth has spent nearly 60 years creating one inspirational garden - The Beth Chatto Gardens at Elmstead Market, just east of Colchester.

The beauty of the mature planting at Beth Chatto's

This weekend Beth's team hold their first plant fair, and to make it extra-special it's all free! Please pop along to see what my ex-colleagues have created. It is still a family business, and many local people dedicate more than just their working hours to making it special. My old boss, David Ward, is one of the finest plantsmen in the World, having worked with Beth for over 30 years. So why not go along and share their passion for plants. You can get there by number 76 bus from Colchester. See you there!
