One of Joan's favourite annual events to attend is The RHS Chelsea Flower Show and she made time our of her busy schedule to attend this years show which opened this week. One of her highlights was a visit to her good friend Tamara Beckwith's Lady Garden Foundation Garden which is the first year the charity
has submitted a garden. Joan spent some quiet time in the tranquil creation called 'Silent No More' created by Darren Hawkes. Other guests this week at the show were Elaine Paige, Judi Dench, Gloria Hunniford and Joanna Lumley. The foundation was thrilled when creator Darren Hawkes was awarded a Chelsea Gold Award for his inspiring garden.
