About RHS Chelsea Flower Show:

The Chelsea Flower Show is the plant breeders' favorite place to unveil new plants and the Great Pavilion often provides the first glimpses of the newest horticultural gems. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show is the ultimate event in the gardening calendar and 2015 is the 102nd show.

Tips for Visiting The RHS Chelsea Flower Show:

• Under 5s and children's buggies are not permitted.
• Doors open at 8am and visitors arrive early.
• Buy your show catalogue in advance - it can be ordered along with your tickets.
• Use the map in the show catalogue to plan your day.
• When the Main Avenue and Rock Garden Bank are congested, head into the Great Pavilion, or to Western Avenue and Royal Hospital Way.
• The busiest time is 11.30am – 2.30pm so stop for something to eat then.

• Use the catering area in the northwest corner of the site by Creek Gate where you will find a range of hot and cold meals from baguettes to jacket potatoes and ice cream.
• The toilets in Western Avenue often have shorter queues.
• Wear comfortable shoes, as you will be on your feet for much of the day.
• Bring a waterproof coat with a hood in case of rain, instead of an umbrella as these get in the way in crowded areas.
• Do not carry large rucksacks or bags around the show with you as they get in the way of other visitors. If you are bringing a picnic or any large bags, check them into the cloakroom until you need them.
