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 Royal Hospital Chelsea in Chelsea, London. Hosted by the Royal Horticultural Society, this is a gathering of the world’s finest landscape designers, who compete to build the best flower gardens. Every year sees more conceptual creations and the results are surprisingly artistic. There’s also gardening advice and presentations on anything from the power of plant healing to conservation.

Located in the grounds of Royal Hospital Chelsea, the nearest Tube station is Sloane Square. 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. On the final day of the festival, many of the plants and flowers are sold at huge discounts, so bear that in mind if you like a bargain.
