CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW

Chelsea Flower Show started in 1913 and takes place in the grounds of the Royal Hospital, designed by Sir Christopher Wren. Chelsea is the first event of the London 'season' and heralds the start of the British summer.

The Queen attends the event and in 2002 Prince Charles exhibited. His garden was called the 'Healing Garden' and featured a tribute to his late grandmother. Also in attendance are celebrities and London society.
