A visit to London’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show has been on my wish list for many years. I was so excited to visit for the first time this year with friends Kathryn, (who knows all about London and organised the day for us) Emily and Lou.
It was even prettier than I had imagined. with spectacular displays from leading landscapers, gardeners and florists.
Today I’m sharing a few highlights from the day.
The RHS Chelsea Young Florist of the Year competition was inspired by the Royal Wedding and the young florists each created a floral wedding throne. Below are three of my personal favourites:
- Kara Halford, Academy of Floristry, Bournemouth.
2. Emily Smith, Ammi Flowers, Wiltshire
3. Megan Ingram, CAFRE, Co Antrim
Refreshments were served in pretty surroundings from the afternoon tea at The Dorchester to the St Germain UK floral truck serving delicious cocktails.

This major London event is definitely one I will be going to again!
