Work starts in Chelsea

After almost a year of planning, sketching and getting all the materials together, this week sees the preparation stages come to a head for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. On Monday, May 23, it is Press Day and everything will have to be ready for the RHS members to see the work of 19 Show Gardens, ten Courtyard Gardens, six City Gardens, nine Chic Gardens and eight Sunflower Street Gardens.

Kim Wilde and Richard Lucas will be working on their Cumbrian Fellside Garden, a sketch of which you can see here, using materials such as slate, timber and willow. For more information about the garden, see this page on the RHS website.
