Gavin’s latest work too big for Chelsea

Diarmuid Gavin has missed out on designing a garden for this year’s Chelsea Flower Show — but is planning the biggest ever garden at Hampton Court.

Gavin’s award-winning gardens at Chelsea have attracted a blaze of controversy and publicity in the past two years for their daring designs and extravagant costs.

His latest extravagant effort is a Willy Wonka-style chocolate-themed garden that uses 18 shipping containers.
