The winners of the People's Choice vote for your favourite Chelsea garden have been revealed.
You're passionate about your gardens and having your say and you voted in your thousands. The show judges have years of experience and assign medals based on this experience and a set of judging guidelines. You vote with your hearts! So, without further ado, the winners are...
The voting in the show garden category was neck and neck at times, with two gardens - The Cancer Research UK Garden and The HESCO Garden - swopping the lead throughout the voting period. The Eden Project's The Key was third.
The winner of the small garden vote was never in doubt. From the moment the vote opened to the minute it closed James May's Plasticine in Paradise was way out in front. All the other gardens had a more-or-less equal share of the remaining votes.
Well done to the winners and thanks to everyone who took the time to vote
The winners of the prize draw will be contacted shortly.
Inga Grimsey, RHS Director General, said: "As a charity the RHS wants gardening to matter to everyone and people have voted in their thousands for their favourite gardens."
About The Cancer Research UK Garden she said: "Robert Myers is a fantastic designer and his garden for Cancer Research UK relates an important message about the impact that the charity has had on the search for a cure for the disease. As always, Robert’s planting was exceptional and featured some superb irises, which are a key Chelsea plant. Robert is also an RHS favourite and is creating a wonderful rose garden for us at Wisley."
About Paradise in Plasticine she said: "James May’s garden captured your imagination and brought a fun, entertaining concept to Chelsea, which helped to engage children and communities with plants through a different medium. It is great that Paradise in Plasticine highlighted gardening to a wider audience and was so well received."
