An unexpected and impromtu visit to the 100th Chelsea Flower Show was a delightful way to begin the week, thanks to the gift of a ticket from a dear friend. There was so much to see and so much to inspire. This exhibition in the Great Pavilion is particularly wonderful. East Malling Research is 100 years old this year too and there can be few if any apples, pears, strawberries, or indeed any fruit consumed anywhere in the world today, that have not been influenced in some way by research conducted at East Malling. This apple tree has been uprooted to reveal all.
