Peter Dowdall: Why Chelsea Flower Show and Mallow Home & Garden Festival mean summer is here  

There is so much to enjoy at garden festivals, which offer inspiration and practical advice 

Professional dance duo Kate Garvie and her daughter Ruby Garvie, age 13, with violinist Sally Potterton, perform at the Brewin Dolphin garden designed by Paul Hervey-Brookes at RHS Chelsea Flower Show. 

I know it’s summer as soon once the hanging baskets are up and Chelsea Flower Show is on.

I won't be in London this year but I have the TV set to record from today, May 24 right up to May 28, as the world’s best flower show unfolds once more in London’s SW3.
