Are you one of many thousands of Britons who will be taking your holiday in UK this year? With the Credit Crunch still looming The Times and many other newspapers have predicted an increase in the number of Britons who will be staying in the UK instead of flying abroad.
Many will choose to become a Festival-goer for the first time and experiencing the Muddy trenches and others will be going to some of Britain's most beautiful lakes and coasts. But no matter where in Britain you go, packing a set of Wellies is a must.
Here at Target we are currently offering our Hunter Welly range at an affordable price. Hunters are not only a fashion necessity but are an investment too. Each set comes with a 12 months warranty against faulty materials, meaning if your Wellies have a manufacture fault you can have them replaced.

Chelsea Flower Show 2009 Hunter Wellies
There are 13 main show gardens at Chelsea this year they include Perfume Garden, Future Nature, Laurent-Perrier Garden, The Marshalls Living Street, The QVC Garden, Foreign and Colonial Investments Garden, The Cancer Research Garden, The Daily Telegraph Garden, The Quilted Velvet Garden, The Key, The HESCO Garden, The Canary Islands Spa Garden, and Echoes of Japan in an English Garden.
The Perfume Garden was designed by Laurie Chetwood and Partick Collins who were inspired by an original recipe for a perfume created by Queen Elizabeth I in the 16Th century. The garden illustrates the diverse range of plants used in manufacture of perfumes taking you back in time using your sense of smell and perhaps an insight into the personality of Queen Elizabeth I.
The Future Nature Gardens creator Dr Nigel Dunnett vision was to show a garden that could be used anywhere and by anyone. Artistic use of found and re-used materials, vision of gardens, building and urban spaces, benefiting people, wildlife and the wider environment on how we could live in the future.
Laurent-Perrier Garden Designed by Luciano Giubbilei wanted to show a garden with rhythm and spacing of plants creating a calm atmosphere. Showing perfectly proportioned spaces by catching light and shadows to create a window of partial arrangement. Hoping to leave an emotional effect on its visitors.
The Marshalls Living Street shows four gardens trying to achieve the most of modest space embracing greener living and encouraging people to respect the value ownership of a garden. Designer Ian Dexter reflects different needs of respective owners: a newly retired couple, a family of "grow your own" enthusiasts, and a young couple with no children.
The QVC Garden uses simple geometric shapes and designs using cool colours in the planting to enhance a calmness and tranquillity. Adam Frost says his garden is designed for a couple who are rekindling their love of plants and gardening now that their children have left home.
Foreign and Colonial Investments Garden designed by Thomas Hoblyn was inspired by natural landscapes. His garden celebrates the world's most threatened habitats and adaptability of carnivorous plants that thrive in unique conditions.
The Cancer Research UK Garden brings an elegant, timeless manner, inspiration of both architectural and natural world. Robert Myers wanted to display a playful garden reflecting the huge progress the charity had made and continues to make in the fight to beat cancer.
The Daily Telegraph Garden include an awareness of huge variations in nature, culture and climate. Ulf Nordfjell shows how planting can be designed in the spirit of nature rather than mimicking it creating designs of beautiful, natural, and long lasting materials such as granite, steel and timber.
Quilted Velvet Garden is based on a dream following a long journey through everyday life of work and domestic chores, eventually arriving at a place of comfort. Tony Smith can be described as an horticultural artist and has a very instinctive approach between design and art.
The Key created by Paul Stone says his garden is meant to be a journey through life starting with uneven paths, dead ends presenting the feeling of being stuck in a difficult place. Leaving a feeling of what it is like to be homeless. At the end of the garden you get a completely different atmosphere of space and shelter showing a place where you can work, relax and enjoy life.
The HESCO Garden designed by Martin Walker and Leeds City Council have created a stone cottage in a shelter of wood and rocky landscape. Following recent wet summers they show a combination of moisture tolerant plants that will survive occasional flooding by using the shape of the garden to contain and allow gradual percolation of storm water providing a home to colourful, naturalistic planting and abundant wildlife.
The Canary Islands Spa Garden was inspired by the rugged volcanic landscapes of the Canary Island Archipelago. David Cubero and James Wong aim to introduce visitors to steaming thermal spring water, black lava rock and towering palm trees showing a bizarre but unique flora of this remote island chain.
The last of the the thirteen gardens Echoes of Japan in an English Garden by Kay Yamada gives an overall impression of an English country garden, many of the elements and most of the plants have origins in Japan. This design celebrates the Anglo-Japanese Alliance fusion of both cultures and garden styles.
As every gardener knows the British weather can be temperamental at the best of times so it is no surprise about Hunters latest boot collaboration with the Royal Horticultural Society, which features a beautiful range of designs inspired by the society's botanical art archive.
