?s annual FlowerShows ? indeed, the largest flowershow in the world.
Scope of the show
Although the ChelseaFlowerShow is generally regarded as the more prestigious event, its Hampton Court counterpart covers more ground, has more exhibitors and encompasses a wider variety of features and themes. There is a contrast, too, in the atmosphere of the two shows. Chelsea, it seems to me, is for serious horticultural devotees, for the garden design in-crowd, for fashionistas and for socialites.

Every year there is the big competition regarding the best show gardens. Different companies have gardens designed and after paying a lot of money, are allowed to put their name to it.
Last year there were gardens by the Telegraph newspaper, BUPA, Savills and so many more. A special garden was created in memory of George Harrison with a lot of psychedelic colours and in parts a tranquil oasis. Celebrities were queuing up to be interviewed in the George Harrison garden, I managed to walk past it twice before I noticed what it was.
The RHS award plaques to the best gardens, a little like Crufts but for gardens. There will be ?best in show? for some of the big showcase gardens, small ...
