Have you ever wondered what it’s like to plant a gold medal winning, main avenue garden at RHS Chelsea Flower Show?

The short answer: it’s an unmissable, 7am to 7pm, 7 day a week experience. A challenge that sharpened my senses and secateurs. A supportive team like the best I’ve ever been privileged to be a part of. A physical marathon. And a magical garden that I fell in love with and taught me so much.

For the first time ever, RHS Chelsea Flower Show has been held in September. The colours, the sunlight, even some of the exhibitors are different. But reassuring, it’s still the Chelsea we all love, glamorous, floriferous, trend setting and fabulous.
