Things were blooming at Chelsea Flower Show for Prince Harry's visit

Peter Dowdall on the work that goes on behind Chelsea Flower Show, organised by designer, Tom Harfleet.

There’s only a month to go until the highlight of my gardening year, RHS Chelsea Flower Show. The showcase event for all that is gardening and garden design in this part of the world.

Ireland enjoyed huge success at the show last year, with garden designer, Paul Martin winning a gold medal for his main avenue show garden. Each year the third week in May sees a pilgrimage to the Royal Hospital in SW3, and its not just gardeners.
