The Lady Garden

who on earth thought of this - the worlds gone nuts to quote Mr Morgan

I quite enjoy some of the art I've seen, like the plastercasts of a hundred vaginas.

It's like a more intimate version of enjoying looking round peoples homes.

Sorry - timetogo already mentioned the queen. (Great minds)

Really Beswitched? People have been using the female form for art for millenia. It's hardly new.

Very silly. Like something a group of teenage boys would think of.

Wonder what the queen will think of it. Suppose they might put a cover over parts of it.

I wonder if people will feel a bit uncomfortable about having a really good look at it?

Lady Garden is a very old phrase. I've been using it for years (sorry Suzie). I think it's hilarious.

No Brazilian plants then well not until next year maybe.
Loved your input BlueSky hahahaha.
And yours NanKate.
I think I may watch it for the first time and soooo look forward to seeing the Queens face.
I hope Prince Andrew keeps away or do I ? haha

Nope - obsession will do nicely.

for merlot for a winning example of utter obsession.

Eh?

My comment is valid. The design stage of a garden is often over a year in the planning and sponsorship/advertising crucial to their success.

Last year's Back to Nature garden which the Duchess of Cambridge was involved in would not have been anything like the success it was if she hadn't visited it.

Female empowerment is right up Meghan's street and whatever you think of my so called 'obsession' (wrong BTW) they would more than likely have had the D of S in mind as it is a conceptual garden.

I quite like the statement about the lady garden, the part about opening up dialogue.
It has too! Look at all of us discussing, in an adult way, female health and empowerment.

They must be Mumsnetters. Sure that is where the phrase "lady garden" originated.

You speak for yourself Missadventure must get the mirror out ???

LOL . Dunno about you, girls, but I'm as fresh as a daisy.

Gag you’re forgiven but it makes my toes curl - all genitalia euphemisms do. And here’s a ??for merlot for a winning example of utter obsession.

Well, its prettier than the real thing, and probably more fragrant.

Well, its prettier than the real thing, and probably more fragrant.

I would imagine they'll be a bit gutted now Meghan Markle has given up duchessing and won't be around during the royal visit at the beginning of Chelsea week.

We hope this garden, which celebrates our feminist founding principles, will provide a beautiful and thought-provoking space in which we can further open up the dialogue surrounding female health and empowerment.”

I'm not impressed by the garden. Jennifer Hirsch is a botanist rather than a designer and it shows.

Suzie, I almost always agree with you. But on this one, I don't. I think it's funny. Soz luv!

There’s nothing politically correct about using twee euphanisms for female grnetslia MO - where did you get that idea from? It’s pathetic not to use proper language

I hate the expression ‘lady garden’ and hope they have a good supply of sick bags nearby. ?

I thought the Body Shop was for Men and Women, my SIL likes one of their shower gels. ??

Dreadful

The image of what they're planning is not great. SO much more they could do. The female form has inspired artists since the dawn of time. To just produce a floral vag is lazy.
