Chelsea Flower Show Tours

Join the 18th annual seven-day tour to the 2012 Chelsea Flower Show (May 19-26) and show your support for the Kirstenbosch team who will be building the SA stand. One of the most prominent themes at the Chelsea Flower Show in recent years has been the use of the circle in garden designs. Enjoy a private VIP tour of Chelsea with gold medal-winning designer David Davidson and join him for a Champagne breakfast. A highlight of the tour will be meeting the Kirstenbosch team competing at this most famous London gardening extravaganza. It is also a showcase for contemporary design and demonstrates how the brightest and most creative of the generation combine plants, colours, decor, concrete, wood, metal and water to produce works of art in the garden. Why are people so interested to see Chelsea at least once in their lifetime.

The Royal Hospital Chelsea is one of the most popular landmarks of this area, providing an extensive ground to hold the annual Chelsea Flower Show of London. Formally declared as Londons Great Spring Show, the Chelsea Flower Show is an annual event hosted by the Royal Horticultural Society in London, England. From a mere horticultural show at Chiswick to the Great Spring Show at Kensington, the flower shows organized by the Royal Horticultural Society evolved over centuries. In most countries around the world spring is welcomed by hosting spectacular flower shows, where London is no exception. In 1888 their venue changed to the heart of London and in 1913 it was finalised to be at the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea.
