🪴This year’s unique show, taking place in September instead of in spring for the first time in the show’s 108-year history, presented a challenge to designers.
Happily, they have risen to the occasion with chutzpah, (we are a nation of 30 million gardeners, after all)
🏆The Guangzhou Garden, by Peter Chmiel and Chin-Jung Chen, won best in show.
Designed to promote cleaner water and air, it features a woodland dell, shelter for wildlife and social spaces for people to gather
🌱Addressing climate change and the growth of mega-cities, this timely garden shines a light on the need for holistic, responsible city planning telegraph.co.uk/gardening/chel…
🥇The M&G garden, by Charlotte Harris and Hugo Bugg, won a Gold medal.
The designers show how reclaimed urban and industrial materials can be reimagined anew in a way that is both sustainable and beautiful
🌼The M&G garden features a sculpture of more than 100 linear metres of repurposed metal pipes, weaving through plants, trees and water telegraph.co.uk/gardening/chel…
🥇The Yeo Valley Organic Garden, by Tom Massey with support from Sarah Mead, also won a Gold medal.
It has been designed with soil biodiversity and pollinators in mind
♻️The materials used in the landscape have all been sourced from the original garden — sending out a loud and clear message of sustainability.

✍️ @GazTheJourno: Elon Musk has always wanted to create a company called X.
The first X was in fact an online bank he set up in the late 1990s - and its CEO was Peter Thiel. That company later became PayPal and was bought by eBay in 2002.
@GazTheJourno 🗣️ @GazTheJourno: Twitter’s blue bird logo has been with the site since its creation in 2006. Its branding has always been twee(t!), featuring the bird doing cutesy things including lifting up the fail whale on its ‘site over capacity’ page back in the 2010s… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@sophia_yan @Nat_Vasilyeva @VerityBowman It is estimated that 2,150 Ukrainian children have been taken to at least four camps in Belarus since September 2022, with numbers expected to reach 3,000 by autumn this year.
Three of the “camps” are in the Minsk region, namely the Ostroshitsky Gorodok Sanatorium, the Zubrenok national children’s educational and health centre, and Dubrava children’s camp. The fourth site is the Golden Sands Sanatorium in the Gomel region.
🔴NEW: The US was concerned about what would happen to Russia’s nuclear weapons during the armed coup staged by Yevgeny Prigozhin, an official has said.
🔴President Vladimir Putin told Russians in a televised address that the mutiny by Yevgeny Prigozhin and the Wagner group was “a stab in the back for our troops and the people of Russia.”
🇷🇺For Vladimir Putin, this is the end of the road.
He may just survive an armed rebellion by Yevgeny Prigozhin and his Wagner mercenaries but he will be permanently damaged and his Kremlin days are numbered.
