Chelsea Flower Show & Kew Gardens In Bloom

After our pick ups we drive towards London and to The Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew. This is one of the most magical times to visit Kew Gardens, when cherry blossoms, magnolias, and flowers burst into bloom and fill the air with colour and fragrance. The whole landscape feels alive with new growth, making it a perfect season for photographers and nature lovers alike. Later we make the short drive to our hotel with time to relax before our included evening meal.

After breakfast today we re join our coach and head to Chelsea for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show returns and we once again offer our customers unparalleled access to the world’s most prestigious horticultural event. Every May the grounds of the Royal Hospital, Chelsea are transformed into a patchwork of show gardens, inspirational small gardens and vibrant plant displays as the most talented of the gardening world gather for the UK’s most famous flower show. Set in 11 acres, this is the most prestigious flower show in the country, showcasing all the latest in garden design innovation. This show is the one the top professionals want to be known for, with over 550 exhibitors all striving for the horticultural prize of prizes, a Chelsea Gold Medal. The Great Pavilion is the centre piece, housing a vast exhibition of displays by growers from all over the world, the Floral Design Studio showcases some of the best, most creative and technically accomplished floral designers from around the UK and overseas, while the Show Gardens incorporate tranquil water features, sculptures and carefully conceived plantings, making them an annual highlight and the talking point of every show. As it is the last day of the show you will even have a chance to purchase some of the displays at the end of the show. At the end of the show we start our journey towards home.
