Chelsea Flower Show
Crowds pollinate the grounds,
buzzing about designs, displays and gardeners' dreams.
The pollen of their pleasure settles on every plant,
dusting them with praise
until the atmosphere grows and ripens;
the odd sharp frost of disapprobation
for a particular planting
only makes for healthier growth.
Seeded thickly at Chelsea is hardy, perennial hortus amator,
loving gardens in every shape and form
from containers to fellside pilgrimage
or Grand Tours around the world;
rooted in history or stretching tendrils toward the future
there is something in each to make smiles bloom.
Professionals and amateurs mingle like light and shade,
each finding their own perfect spot
where scent and colour coalesce.
