More details of the Chelsea Flower Show 2007

The exhibitors
There will be around 600 exhibitors in total. The show will feature around 50 gardens and more than 100 floral exhibitors in the Great Pavilion.

International exhibitors will come from countries as far away as Sweden, Barbados, Sri Lanka, France, Holland, Germany, Australia, Jamaica, South Africa, Trinidad & Tobago and Zimbabwe.

Some exhibitors such as Nottcutts, Kelways and McBean’s Orchids will have exhibited at the show since its early days.

Among the top garden designers creating show gardens this year will be Jinny Blom, Andy Sturgeon, Diarmuid Gavin, Sarah Eberle, Marcus Barnett, Philip Nixon and Gabriella Pape and Isabelle Van Groeningen.

Exhibits will be judged by specialist RHS judging panels before the show opens, and are awarded Gold, Silver-Gilt, Silver and Bronze Medals.

The Show in 2007
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 2007.

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 2007. 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 2007 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.

Guide to the big plant sell-off
The sell-off starts at 4pm on the Saturday and lasts until 5.30pm when all visitors must leave the showground. During this time many of the exhibitors sell off display plants and products.

The sell-off period is usually very busy, so it pays to be wise to the fact before it starts. Make notes of any plants you want to buy and remember the relevant stand numbers - and a quick route to them. Some exhibitors will reserve plants for you and it is always worth asking. Then remember to be at those stands before the sell-off starts.

Don't forget that you may need some means to transport your purchases off the showground, especially if they are large or awkward to carry (wheelbarrows are readily available to buy at the show). Also remember that some of the plants may need protection of one sort or another for the journey home.

RHS members can be re-admitted to the show for the sell-off on production of an RHS membership card, receipt or ticket stub.

Non-members will need to present a receipt or proof of purchase for items to collect.

The visitors
A maximum of 157,000 visitors are expected attend the show. This is a capped figure and represents full capacity of the showground
The RHS currently has more than 370,000 members and the Tuesday and Wednesday are reserved for RHS members.
Non-members can purchase tickets for Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Members of the Royal Family are expected to make a private visit to the Chelsea flower show 2007 on the Preview Day (Monday).
