what is the size of a show garden at Chelsea?
Nigel Dunnett setting out



I went to the show once and from what I could see you have different sizes.

If you want to show there I would suggest you get in touch with the Chelsea Garden show.
Too late now tho, I guess you have to put in a request at least a year in advance

My garden has been created by me - I don't want someone else telling me what to put, where to put it and what to put beside it.
