If any art lovers were at Chelsea Flower Show yesterday, you might have spotted a famous face among the crowds - celebrated landscape artist Ashley Jackson had his easel set up painting the Arts of Yorkshire Garden.Ashley was invited to take part by Welcome to Yorkshire and continued a very local artistic theme to this particular garden, which also featured a Barbara Hepworth sculpture and plants chosen according to David Hockney's colour palette.
The garden was designed by Leeds-based landscape designers Gillespies and utilised curved wall toppings to suggest the undulating hills of Ashley's native Yorkshire - and he certainly seemed to be enjoying the challenge of painting the display and chatting away to the passing crowds.
