Show gardens at Chelsea Flower Show

When planning your time at any garden show it should be high up on your list to take the time to get inspiration from the show gardens along Main Avenue. At Chelsea Flower Show they are of an exceptionally high standard and can be either quite abstract or more achievable at home. Either way, you will see plenty of gorgeous plants and be able to take away some visions of your own. If the designer is at the show garden, take the time to chat if they can and find out more. The planting will give you an idea of current trends in plants, colours and styles.
