The RHS Chelsea Flower Show in May is outdoors, crowded and unlike anything else in the garden world — this talk is your armchair ticket. Start at Sloane Square with Chelsea in Bloom, soak up the show’s energy and atmosphere from the Main Avenue, and explore the hidden balcony designs from emerging designers. Learn how to read a show garden and get into the design details worth stealing: hardscapes, plant combinations, foliage, color, naturalistic planting and what the breeders are bringing to the market. See what makes Chelsea different from the Northwest Flower and Garden Festival. Grace will delve into the question every PNW gardener ends up asking: what actually works here?
