RHS Chelsea’24 inside the Great Pavilion

The #RHS Chelsea Flower Show is an esteemed annual garden show hosted by the Royal Horticultural Society in London, renowned for highlighting the pinnacle of horticultural and garden design. The show began as the RHS Great Spring Show, which was first held in 1862 at the RHS garden in Kensington. In 1913, it moved to its current location at the Royal Hospital Chelsea and was renamed the Chelsea Flower Show.

One of the central attractions is the Great Pavilion (formerly known as the Floral Marquee), where nurseries and specialist growers display a wide variety of plants and flowers, including rare and exotic species.
In the Grand Pavilion, an extraordinary variety of flowers, plants, and produce are showcased, emphasizing horticultural excellence and diversity. This area is dedicated to stunning floral displays, plant exhibits, and individual specimens from nurseries, growers, and florists. It differs from the rest of the exhibition, which highlights larger garden designs, landscaping, and outdoor structures.

Medals are awarded by a panel of expert judges appointed by the Royal Horticultural Society. These judges evaluate exhibits based on criteria such as design, quality, horticultural excellence, and originality. Exhibitors can receive Gold, Silver-Gilt, Silver, or Bronze medals, reflecting the quality and impact of their displays.
