Late Edition - The Enduring Appeal of the Chelsea Flower Show

From Nights, 10:50 pm on 25 May 2022

It's the world's most famous flower show, and the medals have just been handed out.  The Royal Horticultural Society's Chelsea Flower show is on and open to the public in London... Queen Elizabeth, who hasn't been in the best of health recently, even managed to get along to the show, in her own version of the popemobile.

Chelsea has been running for over 100 years, and it is the place to go to see the latest trends and cutting edge ideas in garden design. 

Someone who has hadand continues to have a close association with the Chelsea Flower Show is Botanist Janet Cubey, who joins us on the line from Christchurch.
