Attending the Chelsea Flower Show in London #Nipclub Thursday, May 22, 2025

Come join us when we visit London, UK to attend the annual Chelsea Flower show!

So, for those of us who don't live in the UK, what is the Chelsea Flower show?
The Flower Show runs for five days in May.
It's run by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) on the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea in Chelsea, London.
It's been held in this location since 1912, with only two breaks for the two World Wars.
157,000 people from all over the world attend annually. Tickets must be purchased in advance.
The venue is 11 acres.
The gardens are built from scratch in nineteen days, and then dismantled after the event in five days.
157,000 people from all over the world attend annually to see gardens created by some of the world's most prestigous gardeners and artisans.
There are awards in multiple categories with awarded medals for the exhibit winners.
Plus, it's a great reason to visit London!

Here are a few pictures from some past shows.

Gator jumped right in to do some quality control (it's a tough job but someone has to do it).

Cinni is sporting her colorful BBQ t-shirt!

Sekurity stands ready to chase away the norty ladies (they don't really like BBQ so they don't belong at our party).
