Shirlie Kemp and the Kemp Family's Overgrown Garden Paradise
Prepare to be captivated by the enchanting garden of Shirlie Kemp, wife of Martin Kemp, as she eagerly anticipates the upcoming RHS Chelsea Flower Show in 2024. The Kemp family's garden, showcased on their Instagram page @maisonnumber9, is a haven of wild, meadow-style beauty, filled with an array of plant varieties.
At the heart of this verdant oasis lies a converted pig hut named 'piglet', serving as a charming dining room. Shirlie Kemp has been adding flowers around 'piglet' with great enthusiasm, creating a picturesque setting for their family gatherings.
A recent Instagram post from Shirlie Kemp (@shirliekemp) featured a blooming garden, adorned with the hashtags #gardens and #chelseaflowershow2024, hinting at her potential participation in the prestigious event. The photo reveals the garden's overgrown charm, with rows of cow parsley, wallflowers, geums, dahlias, and strawberry plants, creating a symphony of colours and scents.
The garden's centrepiece is a pretty lilac picnic table, adorned with freshly-cut roses, adding a touch of elegance to the rustic setting. Shirlie Kemp shared that she bought the lilac tablecloth from Daylesford Farm (@daylesfordfarm).
Martin Kemp, too, finds solace in the garden, considering it a form of meditation. In a recent BBC tour, filmed in preparation for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, the Kemp family discussed their garden project, expressing their shared passion for this environmental haven.
Shirlie Kemp expresses her excitement about the garden, finding it rewarding to see what they have created so far. As she patiently waits to bring her vision to life, the garden continues to flourish, offering a serene escape for the Kemp family.
The Kemp family's garden is more than just a beautiful space; it serves an important environmental purpose, providing a sanctuary for wildlife and promoting biodiversity. As the RHS Chelsea Flower Show approaches, we eagerly await Shirlie Kemp's potential contribution to this horticultural celebration.
