What is the RHS Chelsea Flower Show?

The Legacy of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show

Founded by the Royal Horticultural Society in 1913 and once held in a single tent, the RHS Chelsea Flower Show has a long and esteemed history in London, continuing through two world wars and evolving steadily over the last century. Today, the event draws in thousands of people each year, garnering national attention and coverage. It is considered by many to be the unrivalled top event in agriculture and gardening.

Featuring an array of spectacular gardens ranging from the tech-savvy ‘Garden of the Future’, designed to endure extreme weather and varying climates, to poignant displays with the theme of ‘challenging preconceptions’, raising awareness for those living with HIV, Down Syndrome and other stigmatised conditions.  With the 2025 show even placing a spotlight on balcony gardens for city centre gardeners, there is no better opportunity to discover emerging trends and timeless tricks to apply in your own home.
