It’s time for RHS Chelsea Flower Show from 19th to 23^th May 2026.  It will be full of beautiful gardens, lots of ideas, tips and advice and plenty of shopping, as well as chances to eat and drink! 

There are show gardens, balcony and container gardens (particularly great if you've got a small garden or balcony and you want some ideas), All About Plants Gardens, to celebrate the wonders plants can bring to a garden, Houseplant Gardens, and floral gardens. There's the RHS Chelsea Plant of the Year and GreenSTEM which highlights horticultural science and technological innovations.  

And - big news - this year, the RHS is lifting the ban on gnomes at the Show.  Why is this?, I hear you ask.  Well, they are raising funds for the next generation of gardeners and the RHS Campaign for School Gardening! 

It's not too late to buy tickets – and don’t’ forget that there are other RHS Flower Shows during the year.  And remember, Members get reduced price tickets!
