RHS Chelsea Flower Show Highlights

This year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show is a special occasion – uniquely it takes place in September (at the end of summer) instead of the traditional start of summer in May.
The Show Gardens showcased the best of garden design talent, and featuring some more autumnal flowers, plants and grasses, and an exclusive chance to see the gardens lit up at night.

Fruit & Vegetables
Across the show there was a focus on fruit and veg – including a huge pumpkin in the Pavilion. If you’re inspired to improve your all year round growing skills we recommend Sally Nex’s Self-sufficient Veg growing course.

Lots of great tips and inspiration for adding houseplants and succulents into your life at this year's show.
