details of the Chelasea Flower Show 2006
The
Chelsea Flower Show is the gardening Mecca of
Europe, where some of the greatest exponents of
the art exhibit imaginative garden designs over
an 11acre site at the Royal Hospital in Chelsea.
They create a wonderland for the public to explore,
as the tranquil canvas of the hospital's lawns
comes alive with a riot of colour and form.
Since
its inception in 1913, the Chelsea Flower Show
has been at the forefront of horticultural development.
In 2002, the entire event was housed in the dramatic
new-look Great Marquees - higher, lighter, brighter
and better ventilated than ever before -Chelsea
Flower Show 2006.
Dozens
of model gardens have always formed the prime
attraction, reflecting the changing enthusiasms
of designers, from the Japanese and topiary styles
of the early days through to a major emphasis
on rock gardens during the war years, to the paved
backyards, cottage and wildflower gardens of the
present day. The show continues a long tradition
of pushing boundaries - the very first one exhibited
a Japanese Bonsai long before they became a staple
of Ikea.
in
2004 there were more than 40 show gardens (large
and small), over 150 floral exhibits in two Floral
Pavilions, as well as professional and amateur
floral arrangements. Specialist societies and
scientific bodies show off the latest in gardening
trends and research - Chelsea Flower Show 2006
On
the first of the four days, the world's top horticulturalists
award the creators of the best-executed gardens
with the coveted RHS Gold Medal. New entry criteria
from 2002 allows would-be garden designers to
enter the show's Small Gardens competition (Courtyard,
City and Chic Gardens), previously only open to
colleges and RHS Affiliated Societies.
The
Chelsea Flower Show 2006 also offers many shopping
opportunities, from conservatories, greenhouses,
mowers and gardening equipment to furniture and
statues. Finally, as ever, all flower arrangements
will be on sale on the last day of the show. There
are also plenty of restaurants and designated
eating areas on site for when you need a break.
The
quality of this splendid visual display is certainly
a given, yet sadly, the British weather is not.
The organisers therefore advise that all visitors
come prepared with lightweight, waterproof macs
or anoraks.
