The Chelsea Flower Show in bloom

Running from May 21-25, the annual Chelsea Flower Show is one of the largest events in the horticultural calendar and attracts thousands of visitors, ranging from gardening experts to amateur enthusiasts.

It started in 1913 and has grown enormously in size. Today it displays beautifully designed show gardens, shares expert tips for amateurs, explores the connection between wellbeing and plants and has plenty of space for shopping too. This year, royal watchers were in for a treat as Kate Middleton debuted her first garden design.
