The Lady Garden

Celebrating? More like objectifying the female body. Bodyshop owned by Natura. Advertising pure and simple.

Awful ,

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.

Dreadful

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Nope - obsession will do nicely.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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