The 2024 Chelsea Flower Show

The recent announcement of His Majesty's Patronage of The Royal Horticultural Society, the organizing body behind the Show, was met with great enthusiasm.

Both the King and Queen have a longstanding connection with the RHS and are regular attendees of the Flower Show.

Accompanying Their Majesties at the Show were The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, adding to the regal presence at the event.

One of the highlights of this year's displays was the RHS's ‘No Adults Allowed’ Garden, a unique creation designed by Harry Holding and children from Sulivan Primary School.

This marks the first time a garden designed by children for children has been featured at the show, offering young visitors a whimsical journey through a magical landscape of lush woodlands, meadows, and wetlands.

The Addleshaw Goddard Junglette Balcony Garden stood out for its focus on promoting biodiversity, featuring bird nests, integrated bat boxes, and a small pond that serves as a sanctuary for urban wildlife.

Another notable garden was the Moroto no IE Garden, which skillfully combines the beauty of nature with the practicalities of family life.

The design incorporates wall greening to blend the structure with the surrounding garden, emphasizing environmental considerations.

Established in 1913 on the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London, the Flower Show has evolved into a premier global platform for showcasing horticultural excellence.

The event attracts visitors and exhibitors from around the world due to its prestigious reputation.

From its modest beginnings with 244 exhibitors in 1913, the show has flourished over the years to now feature over 500 participants, including gardens, nurseries, floristry, educational displays, and trade stands.

Currently, the show draws in a substantial crowd of 168,000 visitors, showcasing the enduring popularity and success of this celebrated horticultural event.
