CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW
“ Whilst we are sad to have had to delay RHS Chelsea and are sorry for the disruption this will cause , we are excited that we are still planning to bring the world ’ s best loved gardening event to the nation at a time when more people are gardening more than ever .
“ We know that the autumn dates may not be suitable for everyone , but with our fantastic industry partners we will do everything we can to support them and create a show that will be a moment in history . It will be exciting to see different horticulture and showcase the key autumn gardening season at the world ’ s most famous flower show . We believe many designers and nurseries will look forward to working with different plants that would not be available or at their best in May .
“ Never have so many people gardened in recent times , nor needed the benefits of gardening more , so we will do our utmost to deliver a beautiful , uplifting and different RHS Chelsea safely in September 2021 .”
As was planned for the event in May , RHS Chelsea Flower Show in September will be spread over six days instead of five , with the same reduced number of visitors , another first in its history . There are many further coronavirus safety precautions being put in place for exhibitors , everyone involved in the show , visitors and RHS staff and volunteers .
The RHS is fundraising £ 40m to transform our gardens , outreach and education facilities , which includes redeveloping our flagship
RHS Garden Wisley and opening a new garden , RHS Garden
Bridgewater , in 2021 . We are solely funded by our members , visitors and supporters . For more information visit www . rhs . org . uk
