Since 1862, the Royal Horticultural Show has become the most famous garden and landscape flower show in the world. The first show opened in Kensington moving to Chelsea. Royal connections with the flower show go back to the beginning. In 2019 the Duchess of Cambridge designed a special garden featuring a rope swing and a water stream, the theme of “Back to Nature”.
The BBC runs a regular RHS Royal Flower Show program during the event to bring those who can not attend some of the highlights and hidden treasures. BBC Schedule
For those who cannot attend the main show, but can still get to Chelsea there is the free Chelsea in Bloom festival which this year runs with the seaside theme playing on the word Chelsea. Getting to the heart of this would be to start from Sloane square.
What is Chelsea in Bloom?
High street shops and retailers who can be found on the streets radiating from the hub of Sloane square adorn themselves in flowers. The public can walk about and soak up the spirit of the flower show and creativity.
This years theme, “Under the Sea” also raises awareness about preserving the environment.
Chelsea in Bloom runs from May 20th–May 25th, 2019 Voting ends Midnight 23rd May.
Sloane square has transformed its little road traffic island into a seating area with flower display. Here you can pick up a map of the shops taking part. 88 in total and some are just tagging along for the spirit.

Kiehl’s during our visit were handing out mystery shell scratch card vouchers, with a twist, that could be revealed by dipping your finger in a water fountain inside and swiping across. This could be redeemed for a mini product. The staff were very customer care orientated and subtle. Knowledgeable about suggesting suitable products and about the fact their entry was based on all biodegradable floristry products. In terms of a well-adorned shop and laying on something for the punters, we give them the thumbs-up for a seaside enchantment. Thanks.
