Celebrating Chelsea Flower Show success – and it didn’t cost them a penny. There is more to Chelsea than just gorgeous blooms and perfect plants, an important part of the show is its educational element. That was certainly the message put across by the East Durham College whose student-led exhibit on the different types of tropism was a masterclass in design, execution and teamwork. Each year the RHS invites colleges to apply to be part of the floristry element in the Grea

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Chelsea in Bloom, whose retailers embraced this year’s theme ‘Out of this World’ with the usual creativity, imagination and enthusiasm we have come to expect from London’s biggest free flower festival.

While, for the more spiritually minded, astrology, tarot cards and mythical characters such as mermai

In the Great Pavilion there are two categories in the well-established floristry competition.
