R.H.S. 2004
Chelsea synonymous with gardens!
A Royal Horticultural event;
Society merged in social and verdant pastures;
A bicentennial jewel.
A majestic tour reviews the presentations;
The range of fauna extreme.
Individuals excel in design,
Colour and fragrance are optimal in all symmetry.
The humble garden is elevated;
Judged of its worthiness;
Accorded its medallion,
according to tradition.
Nature pursued in its perfection;
The most stunning ornate simplicity;
The merging and melding of all concept;
Displayed in a breathless foray.
Each creator is due an accolade.
Sponsorship supports the structure;
Corporate identities are recovered,
Canvassed with a new mask.
Go for the Gold!
High standards demand the best.
Grades are guarded amongst the privileged;
Consensus must rule the day.
A long history of excellence encourages effort.
Perfection can be pursued in plant production.
Presentation can be impressive whether simple or ornate.
The garden canvas imprints in living form.
