Chelsea Flower Show
The RHS Chelsea Flower Show, formally known as the Great Spring Show, is a garden show held for five days in May by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) in the grounds of the The Royal Chelsea Hospital in London . It has been held at Chelsea since 1912, it is the most famous flower and landscape gardens show in the UK and perhaps in the world. The show is attended by members of the British Royal Family and attracts visitors from all continents.
Highlights to the Chelsea Flower Show include the avant-garde show gardens designed by leading names with Floral Marquee at the centrepiece. The Show also features smaller gardens such as the Artisan and Urban Gardens.
Last year as part of my retirement gift from work I was given a trip to London to see this Flower Show. I think it is every gardners dream to visit Chelsea. My garden will never be like they have on Show, but it is my garden and I can dream.
I loved my day and I can hardly believe a whole year has gone by. I have used several ideas in my own garden and have so many memories.
I share a few photographs with you here.
This year the Flower Show has gone digital and I look forward to see what is on offer. Nothing can can replace the sights, sounds and smell of Chelsea.
