The NSPCC’s Garden of Magical Childhood
It’s time again for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show which this year celebrates its 100th anniversary. Got tix? Here’s a sneak peek from the VIP and press day of what you can expect.
No tix? Oh well. As I understand it the show is completely sold out (always smart to double check though). There’s the RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show coming up in July.
Southfield Nurseries Cactusland
There wasn’t a single octopus’s garden to be found at the show, but that didn’t stop Beatles drummer Ringo Starr from showing up at the Herbert Smith Freehills garden in support of WaterAid. I spied a number of other celebrities as well, including Joanna Lumley having an absolutely fabulous time as sustainability ambassador for M&S as well as Dame Helen Mirren and Jerry Hall.
Some non-sleb stuff that I thought was cool included the following:
Pachacuti’s certified fair trade Panama hats
Big Green Egg’s ceramic BBQ cookers
Andy Burgess’ chainsaw carvings
The RHS Chelsea Flower Show runs from the 21st to the 25th of May at the Royal Hospital Chelsea. Find out more online at rhs.org.uk.
