Show Gardens – Curl around Main Avenue and Royal Hospital Way. A stroll along this route will take you past some of the finest examples of garden design at the world’s most prestigious flower show. As well as inspired plant combinations and cutting-edge landscaping, these gardens serve as a barometer of current gardening trends and key issues facing horticulture.

Balcony and Container Gardens – Explore what is possible in a smaller space. Urban gardens can be so much more than a place to store a bike. Top designers take on the challenges that town and city gardeners face, from flood management and pollution to noise and space-saving ideas. These gardens are practical as well as inspirational, with design principles that can be applied to nearly any garden setting.

A Gallery of Floral Art

• From the moment visitors arrive, they are welcomed by spectacular floristry displays which adorn the gates. RHS Chelsea floral installations are world-famous for their show-stopping explosion of flowers, pushing the boundaries of the art form. The RHS Letters are a classic backdrop for selfies, but it’s impossible not to be captivated by the scent and beauty of every creation across the showground.
• Don’t forget to stroll through the surrounding neighbourhood to enjoy Chelsea in Bloom – a floral scavenger hunt and visual delight for plant lovers.
• Inside the Great Pavilion, the floristry competitions feature Floral Art of the highest calibre. This year, the categories include Creative Spaces, where florists have full freedom to express themselves (judged by the Floristry Ambassador’s Choice), and Floral Creations – smaller, stunning arrangements. Florists also compete for the title of RHS Chelsea Florist of the Year.
• Often overlooked, the Showground Planting is masterfully designed to ensure every vista is beautifully framed by coordinated beds and borders throughout the event.

The Great Pavilion

• RHS Chelsea draws the best growers and nurseries from around the world to exhibit in the most prestigious tent in horticulture. Expect to meet unrivalled plant experts who are eager to share their knowledge. While the plants aren’t available to buy until the sell-off from 4:00 pm on Sunday, the displays are a celebration of creativity – past examples have included ferns in bathtubs, vegetable portraits, and dinosaurs amongst Sarracenias. Who knows what wonders 2025 will bring?
