Gardeners' Corner

Chelsea changes and making a showstopper garden


Listen Later

For many it’s considered the greatest flower show on earth and while it’s normally held this week, Chelsea has been ‘chopped’ from its normal spring slot and moved to the autumn. It’s the first time this has happened in the show’s 108 history meaning this year’s RHS show will be completely unique. This week, David Maxwell chats to some local Chelsea Flower Show successes about what taking part in it did for their careers. He speaks to ‘King of Chelsea’ Mark Gregory about his plans for the September show and how the colour palette will be completely differ. Also on the programme, from peacebuilding to garden designing, David catches up with Finnish designer Taina Suonio who studied horticulture at Greenmount while working for the Independent International Commission on Decommissioning. She is preparing to do her second show garden this year. David will also be joined by Reg Maxwell and Claire Woods to take listeners questions on how they can make their gardens a showstopper!
