Thanks to the sponsorship of the good people at Lands’ End, we are once more off to Chelsea and there’s a poetic theme to this year’s garden that’s very close to my heart. As my regular readers will know, I’m drawn to complex, challenging and creative types and this year is no exception.
With just 15 short weeks to go before we break ground again in the shadow of the historic Royal Hospital, I thought it would be a good time to introduce you to the man who has inspired me this year.

I got to catch up with the lovely people from Lands’ End last week to relaunch our Chelsea garden at their HQ in Oakham, just down the road from Barnsdale Gardens where I’m based.
The garden has been relocated, lock stock and barrel, next to the Lands’ End head office and we celebrated its completion last week with a small gathering.
There was a great turnout from loyal customers and I even got to make the acquaintance of the High Sheriff of Rutland, Peter Lawson, who gave the opening his official seal of approval.

It’s all been rather hectic since chelsea, would you believe we are already working on next years (I must be mad). The design needs to be in next month, so I have now immersed myself in to yet another interesting caricature, this one is a bit closer to home though.Read more...

Across the pond… and over the moon
This year’s Chelsea Flower Show saw four seasons in one week. We went from sun to a soaking in just six days. But nothing could wipe the smiles from our faces after discovering we’d won a gold medal for our Lands’ End Across the Pond garden.
Knowing that our garden captured the judges’ approval has made all the months of planning and hard work worth it. It’s great news for Lands’ End as a first time sponsor and a milestone for Adam Frost Design as it completes a hat trick of gold medals at Chelsea.Read more...

And we’re off…
After all the months of planning, meetings, and battling the weather to make sure our plants are in their prime, it feels good to have put a spade in the ground at Chelsea.

Just to let you know the nice people at the RHS have given us the 'green light'. It does feel good knowing your design will be on that cat walk come May. It's just what we needed - with the way the weather is its starting to feel like a long winter but May will soon be with us I promise!

As I’ve said before, I’m not a great lover of the snow. I do find it all very frustrating but, at the same time, nature is so special. I’ve just had a walk around the gardens here at Barnsdale (actually, that’s a bit of a lie as Nick did and let me have some photos – but the thought was there…) and it looks so beautiful. The atmosphere is so peaceful, don’t you think our countryside and gardens look like different worlds? Read more...

Have a look at these little beauties. Admittedly, beauty is in the eye of the beholder but, be honest, does your office look as cool as mine? I know what you’re thinking – he’s finally lost it – but trust me, next spring it will burst into life. Read more...
