 | Rural attractions of London: Chelsea has horticultural associat ,ons that began long before the great annual flower show came to the grounds of the Royal Hospital. In the eighteenth century Sir William Davy's nursery was one of three close to the King's Road, and today this private garden on the Cadogan estate stands on part of Davy's land. A few yards from the bustle of Sloane square, it is a glorious example of what can be achieved with a little effort in a town garden in spite Of furnes and dust. Essentially planted for colour in spring and containing many Japanese trees and shrubs, the' garden also thrives in other seasons. More than 200 lbs of honey was harvested from a single beehive here during a recent summer. |
