David starts preparing at the Crocus Nursery

David and Mark have been working this week on preparing the dry stone walls for the Telegraph garden at Chelsea. Over the years we have found that any kind of dry stone walling can be very slow to build (especially if you want to do it properly). So this year we have developed the idea that we build most of the walls before the show and then transport them to the site. We have constructed frames for each wall and David has been been building them at our Nursery. There are 14 of them in all and he should have finished them by tomorrow. The great thing about doing it this way is that it should save us a lot of time at the Show itself.
