The Royal Horticultural Society – Your gardening update from the RHS
Your gardening update from the RHS
We hope you enjoyed RHS Chelsea Flower Show last week, gathering inspiration and ideas for your own garden. Whether you took photos, scribbled down plant names, watched the TV coverage or bookmarked online articles, now is the time to put everything together and create your wish list of plants and a garden plan. If you missed it, here are the top trends and themes from RHS Chelsea 2023.
With warmer weather in the forecast, we’ll be spending more time outdoors gardening and tending to our new plants. Your hard work will have caught the attention of bees, birds and other wildlife, make sure you take the time to appreciate what you’ve created too. Your peaceful reflection may even be interrupted by compliments from your neighbours!
Happy Gardening!
