So the judging format has changed this year – and who knows how accurate our predictions are – but just for fun we thought we’d have a go at judging ourselves. Needless to say there was some hot debate (and er we are possibly quite critical on our panel here). There is definitely more diversity this year which is a good thing, and exciting to see some ‘youth’ coming through with the show garden designers. We enjoyed judging our Chelsea Flower Show Garden medal winners as you can see! And it has to be said, at dawn yesterday, with the gardens backlit with the sun – many were stunning. More so than in most previous years. So without further ado – here are the Chelsea Flower Show Medal winners 2014 as finally judged and virtually awarded by MyGardenSchool’s founder and award winning garden designer Duncan Heather:
