【难句分析】 原文：The event celebrates its 22nd anniversary with a great show of the very best of gardening, making it one of the most popular events in gardening. 这个活动用最好的园林展示庆祝它的22周年纪念日，这使它成了园艺方面最受欢迎的活动之一。(第二部分Special Events中Holker_Garden_Festival 30th May的这一段)
分析：本句为简单句，主干为“The event celebrates its 22nd anniversary”，现在分词短语“making it one of the most popular events in gardening”作结果状语。
