The RHS and BBC Radio 2 Dog Garden, designed by Monty Don was visited by a collection of furballs, from cute cavapoos to rescue dogs.
While there are no dogs allowed through the gates throughout the week, a special allowance was made for press day, with dogs appearing to mark the occasion and to appear with their owners on BBC Radio 2. The most famous dog Ned, was joined by the liked of Ted - Paul Whitehouse's pooch - alongside Jamie Butterworth's Hector and more.
