Monty Don says... Chelsea in autumn? I think it could be a winner!
Daily MailLike almost every other public event, Chelsea Flower Show was cancelled last year and has been postponed in 2021. However, from the very first show in 1913, this rather grandiose formal name was almost always ignored and referred to by the public and exhibitors alike as ‘Chelsea Flower Show’ or simply ‘Chelsea’. The highlights of 2021 THE YEO VALLEY: ORGANIC GARDEN Tom, familiar from TV’s Your Garden Made Perfect, has created a Show Garden using habitats and plants found at Yeo Valley’s organic garden in Somerset. Constance Craig Smith In 1913 the first Great Spring Show was held at the Royal Hospital, beginning the tradition of what very quickly began to be known as ‘Chelsea’. But there will be six Show Gardens, plus a Garden of Hope created by the RHS with the BBC’s One Show, and new categories that reflect the times: Sanctuary Gardens, Balcony Gardens and Container Gardens.
