We're hearing from a Northamptonshire sculptor who's marking 10 years at Chelsea Flower Show.

The popular landmark event has been taking place in London throughout this week.

Nicholas Moreton from Blakesley near Towcester told us how special the show is for him:

"It literally is a place to meet people, whether you're buying today or some other time, plus whether it's interior or outside designs.

"Of course the garden landscapers are around, who've seen your work on show at Chelsea and want it in their design."

Talking of where he gets ideas and inspiration, Nicholas explains:

"Some of my work is inspired by the human form, and some by moments in my life. I have a piece called Catherine Wheel from a childhood memory of my Dad with a firework. It has an internal LED light.

"One of my latest pieces is based on storms at Fistral Beach in Cornwall, the power of the sea and its circular motion, and it's centred on the swirling of water."
