I sent in an question via the Chelsea website to Alan T for the Friday
night prog but he didn't answer it.
I'm curious how the show gardens are financed. Do the designers pay
for it themselves, do they get sponsors, do the RHS provide any
funding?
Of course gardens like the Fortnum & Mason one are funded by the firm.
Did Cancer Research pay for Andy Sturgeon's twisted oak strips, or his
yellow seats from Brussels?
What about Chris Beardshaw's?
Anyone know?

all the garden are paid for by sponsers of some sort according to the show guide.
Some of the gardens seem to have multiple sponsering from multiple
horticultural suppliers. Chris Beardshaws was sponsered by buildbase
