At the Chelsea Flower Show yesterday, the veteran actress wiped her eye as she received the seedling from seven-year-old Charlotte Crowe of Henshaw CE Primary School in Northumberland.
Dame Judi Dench shed a tear yesterday after being presented with a seedling from the famous Sycamore Gap tree.The National Trust said Dame Judi is 'passionate about trees' and had been 'very concerned by the news of the felling of the Sycamore Gap tree'.
The seedling - grown from seeds taken from the tree felled last September - will be planted in the Octavia Hill garden at the show, commemorating the founder of the National Trust. The world-famous spectacle - which has been running for 111 years - saw a clash of ancient and modern yesterday in the competition for coveted gold medals, as well as the accolade of best in show.Traditional tastes were catered for with a garden designed by landscape architect Robert Myers for St James's Church, Piccadilly, which was designed by Christopher Wren and consecrated in 1684.
This year at the Chelsea Flower Show, all the large gardens have gone through a 'green audit' as part of efforts to reduce the event's environmental footprint
