Great Britain

This is the grand daddy of flower shows. If you can make it there, it’s sure to be worth the trip. You’ll see the finest collections of flowers in the world and display gardens created by the world’s leading designers, all competing for top prize. Our lucky Guide to London Travel, Laura Porter, gives us the lowdown on what to expect at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

This show doesn't have the cache of the Chelsea show, but it's still a delight. With over 30 acres of display gardens added to the already existing formal palace gardens, be prepared to spend several hours wandering about. Also be prepared to buy, because some of England's best growers are there with their wears. Lots of new introductions find their way into gardens through this venue. Once again, our Guide to London Travel gives us the facts for planning our visit to Hampton Court Palace Flower Show.
