Show Gardens at the Chelsea Flower Show

   |
Some of the most green-fingered people in the country will have spent months planning out their little plots of land in the grounds of Christopher Wren's Royal Hospital.

You'll find gardens squeezed into the tiniest of spaces, gardens created on a budget, places to relax and unwind, and spaces for families to talk and spend time together. Some of the designs are almost like mini-film sets!
