Stop and smell the flowers!

Sometimes the hardest thing to do, is to do nothing, although it must be said that some personalities find this easier than others!

“Slow you down” is an old East Anglian phrase that inspired an entry in this year’s Chelsea Flower Show.
With plants by Katie’s Garden,  The Addleshaw Goddard: Freedom to Flourish Garden by Carey Garden Design Studio - which won Gold and Best in Show in the Small Gardens category - was designed to encourage everyone to take a moment from everyday life.

Create a haven in your own garden with a few thoughtful touches. Seating to enjoy the morning sun with your coffee, and a different spot for watching the sun go down.

Unwind with fragrant flowers and the tranquillity of ponds and other water features.

Plant trees and hedges to bring in the birds, and pollen-rich flowers to draw in even more wildlife for you to sit and watch and admire.
