Horticultural Events Hospitality

Gardens have always existed in the imagination of men and women. Indeed one of the Wonders of Antiquity was the Hanging Gardens of Babylon. The history of horticultural shows is closely associated with the history of the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) in England, which was founded in 1804. The society's flower shows began in the 1820's in Chiswick, London, before moving to the grounds of the Royal Hospital in Chelsea, where it remains today, famously known as the Chelsea Flower Show.

The Chelsea Flower Show is the most prestigious and indeed the greatest garden show in the world. The Chelsea Flower Show heralds the arrival of summer and the beginning of the fashionable 'Summer Season'. The Chelsea Flower Show encourages designers to create 'Show Gardens', which are judged for originality and use of plants. These 'Show Gardens' have become the fashion shows of the horticultural world and tend to set the scene for trends and innovation in horticulture. Yet Chelsea is not only about the Show Gardens, it is also quite simply the most wonderful Garden Centre in the world, with a dazzling array of trade stands to inspire the amateur gardener.

The second most important horticultural event of the year is the Hampton Court Flower Show in July, set in the magnificent backdrop of Henry VIII's famous palace. The Hampton Court Flower Show is the largest flower show in the world and is a wonderful showcase for horticulturists.

The Chelsea Flower Show and Hampton Court Flower Show are both lovingly prepared, and in addition to the extraordinary vistas there are hundreds of interesting trade stands to view and purchase a bargain or two!
