'Rooftop Workplace of Tomorrow' by Aralia - RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2012: March 2012

RHS Chelsea Flower Show Green Wall (11 weeks to go) 'Herbal Tea Bar'

Well its not looking too great at the moment, but it just been planted, and yes we've got a bit of a problem with the Buxus - it just isn't big enough! We're waiting for fresh stock thats a bit fuller. Feeling nervous, not sure anyones ever done a parterre on a wall before.......hope its going to work (of course its going to work, its for Chelsea!)

This is our 'Pick your own tea bar' its full of a huge variety of mints including chocolate, lemon, pineapple, ginger and good old spearmint - we've also included green tea! Just want to see some fuller Buxus in there, Nick please don't let me down.

RHS Chelsea Flower Show Green Roof (11 weeks to go)

Wow, what a difference a week makes! ANS have now got our lovely steely blue Festuca's and have planted them up according to our planting plan - rounded squares (Ipad inspired!) Now just got to cross our fingers and hope that the wildflower mix starts to germinate, I'm told it will all look so full in 11 weeks time ready for Chelsea. This Wildflower Green roof, is going to be going on top of our 'Cube' building in our show garden, which initself is a Rooftop.

RHS Chelsea Flower Show Green Roof (Rooftop Workplace of Tomorrow)

Can't believe its been a whole week since we were down at ANS planting up our green roof, and my feet have so not touched the floor that I haven't had time till now to load up these photos. The team from Walworth Garden Farm came down to help, along with Jose and Kelly from RBS. It was a lot of fun, apart from the fact that I am still wearing a moonboot (had a ski accident 6 weeks ago!). Had a problem with the Festuca's , they weren't steely blue enough, so ANS have arranged to get in some replacements.
