and Sun Flower Street gardens will show you exactly what can be
achieved in modest plots. |

thousands of fabulous flowers including new plants that have never
been seen before. Visit the show and see the latest and greatest in
gardening ideas and experience the wonder of the world’s most
famous flower show from the RHS. |

Planning of the show is an 18-month
cycle, with applications for next year's Chelsea Flower Show already
in the pipeline. Show and small garden applications were received by
the end of July. The RHS gardens panels then decide on which gardens
are to be offered space at the show. Acceptances are confirmed in
September and November. Floral pavilion exhibitors are confirmed in
November. |
