The Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show is the catwalk of the gardening world. This annual event acts as a showcase for the world’s most talented garden designers and show gardens at Chelsea are always special. Top designers from around the world apply to create gardens at the show and only the very best designs are selected.

Founded over 200 years ago, the society leads the way in horticultural training and education, and has the world’s foremost horticultural library - Lindley Library.  

For the first time ever, the RHS has consented to make available a set of prints from this library, and we are pleased to offer you a collection of  these beautiful floral artworks.
