A great show - made you think about what you want a garden to look like and why - for artists, it's somewhere that provokes them into art; somewhere where they can be happy. Some of the pictures of artists at work in their gardens shows artists completely absorbed and happy, knowing that they are inspired by beauty and making the most of it.
I liked, particularly, a group of paintings by Emil Nolde. His use of colour was so bold and skilful. I have just looked him up on Wikipedia because I had never heard of him. He was a German expressionist, a famous one. He painted portraits and landscapes and always used bright colours, sometimes conveying a sense of unease.
