I think my actual overall favourite was the display by Hortisculptures at the main entrance.

A close second was this garden by West Cork designer Anne Hamilton

  3. What a wonderful display of gardens! I like the first one, too. It is so fanciful; somehow it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland!

  4. The first display looks like a set from a fantasy moovie. So whimsical.
    Your photoshopped gunneras crept over everything the way our kudzu vine does for real. Kudzu might grow over you while you sleep, but at least it has no spikes. The gunneras look beautiful but threatening. Yikes
