I will be attending the Chelsea Flower Show in late May. The “Great Spring Show” (as it was once labeled), has become an annual pilgrimmage for my family. As a precursor to this show and as a way to share my enthusiasm for it, I will frequently be writing posts about context, history of the show and providing past designs of show gardens from recent years. Enjoy.
