Behind the scenes at the annual Chelsea Flower Show you imagine an army of frantic workers and rather neurotic designers furiously working to produce their masterpieces, so Chelsea Gold provides a surprisingly relaxed look at the very impressive end results. Acclaimed landscape architect John Moreland has chosen 37 very different gardens from the past 10 years of the show. Each is presented in turn, gloriously photographed and accompanied by a readable and entertaining account of the story behind each design, issues involved in its creation and (very usefully) lists of all the plants, shrubs and trees that have been used.
