Chelsea Flower Show

The Chelsea Flower Show is the Royal Horticultural Society's flagship annual event. Visitors come from far and wide to see the creme de la creme of garden design and horticulture on show, and to get ideas to take home to their own gardens.

The 2005 Chelsea Flower Show will be the second visit for the Moosey London team. This year we will be enjoying the flower show with full day tickets, able to explore the gardens at a leisurely pace.

The flower show transforms Chelsea Royal Hospital's Ranelagh Gardens into avenues of exhibits, bustling with crowds. The flower marquees have endless displays of the highest quality flowers and plants, tempting the visitors into spending sprees. I hope I can resist this year...!

RHS Chelsea Flower Shows

2004 Chelsea Flower Show

I couldn't go in person to the Chelsea Flower Show 2004 - a small matter of twelve thousand miles and almost as many dollars (I promised my old lady gardening knees that we'd only fly business class, now we are semi-retired).

2005 Chelsea Flower Show

Another gardening year, and I'm still a million miles away from the Chelsea Flower Show - well, perhaps twelve thousand miles is a better estimate. As the Moosey gardening days get shorter it's strange (and rather lovely) to think of people getting ready for a summer flower show.
