Attend the Chelsea Flower Show

“A little overwhelmed at first, I thought this year’s event really stood out with its range of exhibits and floral displays. Before entering, I made a game plan. First of all, it is important to get there early before its 8AM opening. I left my hotel at 7AM in nearby Kensington (only about a mile away) and was dropped off near one of the two gates and entered around 7:45 AM and the ticket takers let me in! I call the first hour and a half the golden hour as I can race around and see things and most important take photos without the oppressive crowds and I made the most of it with this unexpected head start.”

“One of my favorite moments at the Flower Show is the first time I enter the Great Pavilion and take it all in. The sights, the scents, and the drama, is intoxicating. There is a bit of something for everyone to enjoy, from the exotics from far around the world to the whimsical and beautiful tiny alpines nestled in stone troughs.”

“From the moment I stepped foot onto the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, I was captivated by the overwhelming array of colors, scents and designs that adorned every corner of the show. The attention to detail was evident in every exhibit, showcasing the creativity and passion of the world's most talented horticulturists and florists.”
