RHS Chelsea Flower Show by Brent Elliott

Whether you come for the nurseries or the show gardens, to buy gardening gloves or foxgloves, or whether you simply prefer to beat the crowds and read all about it, this magnificent book conjures up the full Chelsea experience.

'stunningly illustrated book.. packed with wonderful photographs of displays past and present that will have you reaching for your dibber.'

'authoritative and evocatively illustrated book... equally compelling is the charting of the cavalcade of social and cultural influences that have shaped the show. Chelsea may be 100, but she is not in her dotage, and, one hopes, will long continue to surprise and delight.’

'The text crackles with his customary wry wit, and is peppered with glorious nuggets ... the illustrations are especially rich.'

'there is no better person to research and write the history of the Chelsea Flower Show than Brent Elliott ..."

“the essential souvenir of a show that has reflected and shaped tastes in garden design and planting for the past 100 years …. the chronological chapters provide a fascinating journey from the early shows to present day.”
