The RHS Chelsea Flower Show is back for May 2013 with all the floral delights everyone has come to expect.
Celebrate the new season
The biggest and best explosion of colour and horticulture in bloom the world over, the RHS Chelsea Flower Show is here once again this year with plenty of plants, flowers, trees, sculptures, water features and celebrities.
Flora galore
Full of the brightest and best blooms from all over the country, the Chelsea Flower Show is London’s pride and joy in spring, turning the sometimes grey capital into a riot of colourful patterns and bringing some much needed green to the eyes of the city. Thousands of people descend onto the RHS Chelsea Flower show every year for advice on plant growing, to buy special seeds
or simply to marvel at the amazing gardening spectacle.
Show gardens
A draw for gardeners as well as non gardeners, the RHS Chelsea Flower Show features display gardens that showcase different species and varieties at their best and encourage visitors to perhaps consider these unusual specimens for their own homes. Check out the different themed flower gardens for inspiration in your own garden. Show Gardens, Courtyard Gardens and the Urban Gardens all have excellent ideas to get your green fingers itching to get out that trowel and start planting.
Top advice
Forums and the chance to speak with professional gardeners are a big draw for anyone with questions or queries about how to deal with certain plants. Daily show talks also give you the chance to learn from the pros at the Chelsea Flower Show too. With floral art experts on hand to show you what to do with the blooms once they are cut and gardening experts to give you advice to grow them, every aspect of gardening and horticulture is covered at the show.
Award winning talent
Gardening has become much more of a mainstream pastime over the years and with the BBC covering the events on their cameras, you are also likely to spot a celebrity gardener or two as they wander the grounds before recording their material. You can also see hotly anticipated show gardens, from top designers such as Robert Myers and Bunny Guinness, so keep you eyes peeled for some first rate displays throughout the event.
