Garden built by inmates vies for Chelsea honours
Around 600 exhibitors unveil their creations at the Chelsea Flower Show today, with more than 150,000 garden-lovers expected at the sold-out event over the next five days.
Designers had to contend with unseasonal frosts up to a week before the show opened, leading to concerns that this year’s event would be less colourful than years past. But organisers at the Royal Horticultural Society have promised a spectacular display, with a pair of giant seeping lock gates, a section of wrought-iron bridge and the swimming pool with submerged bar seats all vying for judges’ attention.
