My first trip down to the Chelsea site yesterday and suddenly the whole thing seems very real!

This is my first year working on the show and I can't believe what a massive operation it is. I was taken aback by the bustling atmosphere at the showground; it was a cross between a building site and a wonderland, with the contractors in good spirits, digging and building the show gardens, and the designers observing with a tentative look in their eyes.

Here in the office I have been working franticly with the web team to get the Chelsea 2009 website ready in time to bring you unique footage of the build-up.

There are just over two weeks to go and everything seems to be going to plan, even the sun is shining! Surely it can't be this easy...

The Cheshire area of Nafas have created a gold medal winning display inside the Floral Design Marquee. It's inspired by Mondrian and Andy Goldsworthy. Pam Orton, one of the designers, explained flower_ring.jpg"We decided to call our exhibit Sculpture Park in celebration of the Cheshire Year of the Garden and the Cheshire Artists' Network's - Art in the Garden. After we had decided on a title we were able to look further for our inspiration." Further sources of inspiration come from Mondrian and Andy Goldsworthy. The result is a lively, vibrant arrangement. flower_ball.jpgAlso in the marquee The Welsh College of horticulture have certainly caused a stir! A stunning, floor to ceiling wall of flowers and coloured wire fills their display, a beautiful kaleidoscopic ball completes the exhibit, which is proving a great talking point for visitors.
