For the first time in its 108-year history, garden aficionados are swinging through the turnstiles in September as Chelsea Flower Show 2021 runs from today, September 21, until Sunday, September 26, rather than May. 

This of course means the planting, colour schemes and petal power are a gamechanger for exhibitors, with designers having to adapt to the change in season.
