  The story behind this year's winning show garden at Hampton Court Palace Flower Show 2015.
  Many tend to associate the closure of coal mines with the north of England, but Kent also endured its fair share of upheaval during and after the closure of Betteshanger, near Deal, Kent.

  That garden is lovely and I am sure many will enjoy it when it is established in its new home.
