Led Zep helps flowers bloom for Chelsea show

A garden designer from Virginia Water has harnessed the power of Led Zeppelin in a bid to win at the Chelsea Flower Show.
Mark Gregory, 48, said playing the music to his plants gave them a boost ahead of the show.
"Our plants are doing really well - Led Zeppelin is definitely helping out," he said.
"It is possible the vibrations made them feel better. They turned out fantastic.
"It was like having my own little rock concert - the acoustics in a greenhouse are quite good."
Mr Gregory has designed a series of "living walls" for the show which runs from tomorrow until Saturday.
It is the 20th consecutive year he has competed, but the music will be turned off once the competition begins.
