Special 100th Anniversary Chelsea Flower Show Planned
Date Posted: 11/03/13
The RHS Chelsea Flower Show is a great spectacle and well worth a visit for anyone with even the slightest of green fingers while on London breaks.
But this year's extravaganza promises to be even more memorable than usual, with organisers planning an extra special show to mark the 100th anniversary of the event.
A number of veteran Chelsea exhibitors are designing celebratory displays in acknowledgement of the occasion, reports the Telegraph.
For example, for M&G, the show’s title sponsor, Roger Platts is making a garden which reflects evolving design trends since 1913 - the first year the show was held.
A one-off opera concert is also due to be held during the show on the evening of May 24th and the RHS Lindley Library will host an exhibition of historic photographs that document many aspects of the event over the years.
Tickets for the 2013 RHS Chelsea Flower Show are on sale now, priced at £59 for RHS members and £65 for non-members.
