| Founded in 1913, the Chelsea Flower Show is extraordinary - famous around the world as the premier event of its kind. Eight hundred of the greatest exponents of imaginative garden design spend nearly a month creating a wonderland over an 11-acre site in Chelsea's Royal Hospital Gardens. This year's show has a real buzz to it with the Fortnum & Mason Show Garden featuring bespoke beehives finished in the signature F & M blue. The bees, specially chosen for their gentle nature, will feast on pollen from London's parks and plants from Kensington to Regents Park. Most of London society, including the Queen, regards the Chelsea Flower Show as a highpoint of the London summer season, so if you get bored of the blooms you can have a great time celeb-spotting. The 20,000 glasses of Pimms consumed over the five days confirms it as a very sociable, very British event. This beautiful and inspiring show is a real treat, even for non-gardeners. |
