On Tuesday May 21, the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2024 kicked off. Visitors from all over the world travelled all the way down to the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London, England, to attend this annual flower show. Today is the third day of the show, which is also the last of the RHS Members' Days that are exclusively for members of the Royal Horticultural Society.

So far visitors of the show could enjoy a variety of gardens and landscapes. This years winner of the 'Best Show Garden' was first-time exhibitor Ula Maria who received a gold medal. The silver medal was won by Naomi Slade & Dr Ed Barsley.
Aside from flowers, other forms of design weren't absent from this year's show either. Ketley Brick, a brick manufacturer, was among others present at the show to present garden sculptures.

Heather Palmer encourages people to visit the show saying:"Taking time out is a must, it can be difficult and you will come up with 100+ reasons why you can't take time off but believe me your business won't fall apart, it will still be there when you return." She also shared a photo impression, which can be seen on LinkedIn
