Chelsea flower show | 3D-printed bricks | Tom Lehrer | Saving on electricity | Electric boilers
While it is good news that a sustainable garden has won a prize at Chelsea flower show (Garden with terracotta 3D-print bricks wins Chelsea flower show green medal, 20 May), surely all of the gardens should be environmentally sustainable? Otherwise what are we saying, that you can garden either way? This is ludicrous, given the vital need to stop doing anything unsustainable.
