Amazing seed head display at #RHSChelsea2019 done by our garden neighbour Steven Edney and his team. Steve is head gardener at The Salutation in Sandwich. HG

Our first ever #ChelseaFlowerShow and we won gold! Absolutely bowled over, especially as we made such a controversial display...everything being DEAD and all...

I had that Steve Edney in the back of my cab once

We couldn’t have a happier garden cat, Duke. Being photographed by Steven Edney having a warm snooze. Happy to be left in peace as he is often cheerily cuddled and mauled by visiting children. #cats #rhsgardens #englishcountrygardens #perfectlife #CatsofTwitter

#flashback to winning our Gold at #rhschelseaflowershow a couple of weeks ago for our seed head display. Need a photograph of Steven Edney in front of it!!! And not just one of his back! He was back in the The Salutation Hotel, Restaurant and Gardens gardens on the Sunday after the strike...

Despite there being first nights Glyndebourne Opera Holland Park & Grange Park Opera tonight, I’m going to another virtually unknown opera by Donizetti given in concert tonight by Opera Rara.

The #pelagianoperafestival reaches its finale! Picnic in the gardens of The Salutation to an adaptation of The #magicflute or enjoy evening opera cabaret with open-air dining from Michelin-star winning chef Shane Hughes. For final tickets visit pelagianfestival.com
