Chelsea Flower Show Goes Online for First Time
Varieties
London - Asharq Al-Awsat
The Chelsea Flower Show is moving online with a series of virtual exhibitions after it was cancelled. The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) said this summer would mark its first ever virtual version of the event at Royal Hospital Chelsea, London. According to the daily Evening Standards, the show, taking place between May 18 and 23 will now include virtual garden tours, a school gardening club, virtual floristry displays and experts on hand to give growing tips. Each day of the world-famous exhibition will now begin with a video tour by a leading designer, florist or gardener showing their back gardens. Some will even reproduce the plant showpieces they were due to present on the grand pavilion at the show. Growers from across Britain who normally display their efforts will offer virtual tours of their nurseries, while a daily school gardening club will bring families together for activities. A range of expert advice will be free to read and watch on the RHS website and subscribers will get exclusive content, and the BBC will broadcast a series of special programs. An interactive Q&A session will also take place each lunch time with a special guest and ticket-holders will be able to vote for awards including RHS Chelsea plant of the decade and RHS Chelsea product of the year.
