| Visits and Excursions: |
Admire the internationally renowned gardens of the Cotswolds where our group will also have the privilege of meeting the owners of these private works of living art. Each garden has its own special atmosphere that will inspire every nature lover. This is English countryside at its best, an area full of variety, beautiful landscapes, picturesque villages and of course…glorious gardens. You will then have the chance to rub elbows with fellow gardeners from all over the world at the famous Chelsea Flower Show, while also enjoying the many attractions London has to offer. |
| History: |
Originally called The Royal Horticultural Society's Great Spring Show, the history of the Chelsea Flower Show goes back to 1852 when the show was held in the RHS's gardens in Kensington, London.
The show moved to Chelsea and was renamed in 1913 when a popular one off event, The Royal International Horticultural Exhibition, was held in the Royal Hospital, organized by Sir Harry Veitch. The Chelsea Flower Show has taken place at the Royal Hospital almost every year since. |
