Chelsea Flower Show 2010: anatomy of Andy Sturgeon's Best in Show garden
garden was Sturgeon's best-ever Chelsea garden. garden gives the impression of linearity, but in fact you can't explore it. in straight lines. was how Alan Titchmarsh described it to me. "It's got an energy to it,. both in the design and the vibrancy of colour, that makes it stand out. in Show Garden prize for the first time.
