In search of inspiration
One of the largest fairs of this type was visited by Katarzyna Gubała - editor-in-chief of the magazine " Garden recipe " and " Kocham Ogród"- and Grzegorz Pawlik, editor-in-chief of the monthly"My Beautiful Garden".
For someone attending a gardening event of this scale for the first time, everything they experience must be overwhelming. Chelsea is an unprecedented experience for a gardening enthusiast - a multitude of fragrances, a blaze of colors- it all delights. - recalls Grzegorz Pawlik. In addition, the amount of creative ideas and inspiration that can be drawn from Chelsea is impressive.
Something that captivated me personally is attachment to tradition, despite so many years of the fair's existence. The entirety of Chelsea, in the compositions or designs, hides the spirit of British elegance, which gives the fair a unique atmosphere - sums up the editor-in-chief of "My Beautiful Garden".
History of Chelsea Flower Show
The prestigious Chelsea Flower Show, which takes place on an area of 45,000 acres, can receive about 160,000 visitors during the week of its duration. The fair, held at the Royal Chelsea Hospital since 1912, was founded byRoyal Horticultural Society , whose honorary patron is Queen Elizabeth II.
The philosophy of the fair has changed over the years. In 1927 the Society was close to closing the fair to exhibitors from outside the Kingdom to strengthen the British horticultural market, but the idea was not implemented in line with the since then legendary statement that "gardening has no nationality."Over the years, the reputation of the Chelsea Flower Show has grown around an open approach to the exhibitions presented, where you can see plants and creations from every corner of the world.
