RHS Chelsea Flower Show Highlights

By Alex N

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.

Here’s some of our highlights (follow us on social media - Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Linkedin, Pinterest to see more)

Container Gardens

If you ever needed confirmation that you can create a beautiful garden with just a few containers, this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show confirmed it! Great for inspiration on which pots to use and how to plant. (And if you need more inspiration join Chris Beardshaw’s class on Container Gardening).

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.

Houseplants and Succulents

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

Don't miss sunset over the NHS Garden, and a wander through the gardens at night gives a whole new perspective on the gardens and planting.
