RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2014 – About London Laura

Each year I go to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show and marvel at what these horticultural experts can achieve and wonder about my lack of gardening skills. But I keep on returning as it’s a treat to see the show gardens and try to gain some inspiration.

I’ve published some of my best photos from the 2014 RHS Chelsea Flower Show on About.com London Travel but I’ve saved some pics just for you here. Enjoy!

Here’s what it’s like trying to see the show gardens on Press Day at RHS Chelsea Flower Show as it’s also the day the BBC has to do lots of filming.
