	RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2010 We had a very busy week at Chelsea, where Judith demonstrated her latest ideas to a packed floral design theatre. Judith was very honoured to create the Queen's bouquet, which was presented to her when she visited the Show. It incorporated sweet peas, lily-of-the-valley, herbs and garden foliage - all of Her Majesty's favourites. Some of you might have heard Alan Titchmarsh talking about Judith on the BBC - all very flattering.
Lord Mayor pops in We were thrilled to welcome Duncan and Mary Brown Sandys, Lord Mayor of Westminster and his wife, to the school in February. They spent a couple of hours creating gorgeous, seasonal handtieds. When Judith met James May "My first attempt at flower arranging looked like the work of a man who takes old motorcycles apart and fails to put them back together again," writes the television personality in his new book, James May's Toy Stories. "But the second one [see picture] was considered pretty good." And indeed, the plasticine garden that Judith helped him to create won a special medal at Chelsea last year. Proof that Judith really can teach anyone. To sign up for one of Judith's courses, click here.
