A fascinating announcement yesterday from this year’s Chelsea Flower Show:
The Punishment Garden has been named the Best Show Garden for 2011. Judges praised the careful selection of plants: popular British trees such as birches and willows combined with more exotic selections (rattan, tamarind, hickory, apple). The tasteful bed of nettles was most thought-provoking, and the absence of dock leaves was particularly noted.
Items of garden furniture – trestles and benches – were positioned to good effect. The small selection of red roses at the entrance was deemed a nice touch (a girl visiting the garden needing to know that she was loved by her gentleman host), as was the bed of wildflowers (from which he could pick a bunch to present to her with hugs after their encounter).
(Actually, the prize went to the rather lovely ‘Daily Telegraph Garden’, but one can dream…!)
I am sure Abel, that the ‘punishment garden’, had a ample supply of ‘spanking implements, available if a gentlemen had to use them on their naughty women’s bare bottom. What a dream scenerio. Life can be so beautiful at times. A spanking life. Right on Abel.
Delighted to discover your inner horticulturalist 😉 Although my personal view is screw the roses…
