'The Chelsea Flower Show is an essential feature of the British summer & Mecca for some 250,000 gardeners who attend every year. Many more watch coverage of the event on television. This book tells the inside story of the Show, its history, organisation & exhibitors. The Royal Horticultural Society's most spectacular show has been held annually in the grounds of the Royal Hospital - home of the famous Chelsea Pensioners - since 1913, with short breaks only during the two World Wars. Then, gardeners from large private estates ordered seeds for brilliant masses of annuals, arsenate of lead paste to kill their caterpillars & leather shoes for the horses that drew their lawnmowers. Nowadays, keen amateurs marvel at the magnificent, perfumed blooms, perfect specimens of trees & shrubs & complete garden layouts, & buy a wealth of sophisticated, labour-saving sundries & equipment. A look behind the scenes reveals the organisation involved in staging this massive spectacle, & follows the work of exhibitors from the agonies of nurturing plants to perfection in spite of the vagaries of the British weather, to the elation of the award of a Gold Medal, &, perhaps, a Royal handshake. The Chelsea Flower Show is a beautiful & affectionate tribute to this great British institution & to the hard work, dedication & inspiration of all those that make it possible. It is published in association with the Royal Horticultural Society.'
