The Chelsea Flower Show

by Andrea on May 19th, 2008

The Chelsea Flower Show starts tomorrow, at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea. It’s the show that sets all the trends in the world of gardening - new kinds of garden, new themes, new plants. It’s as important to gardeners as London Fashion Week is to designers.

Themes this year will include wildlife gardening and xeriscaping - gardens for drier, hotter climates, which we’re expecting as a result of  global warming.

Tickets are sold out, though. But if you’re into peoplewatching, you can still have a lot of fun with the queue, as serious gardeners are joined by ladies in big hats and lurid suits.
