One of London’s most popular events, the RHS Chelsea Flower Show has taken place in the grounds of Royal Hospital Chelsea since 1913 – apart from the odd gaps, due to the two World Wars, and in 2020, due to the pandemic. The event also signifies the ‘official’ start of the English summer season.

This year, the RHS Chelsea Flower Show is themed around wild plants and naturalistic gardens, with gardeners encouraged to showcase plants which promote wildlife, biodiversity and rewilding. Wander around and you’ll see an abundance of wild poppies, buttercups and cow parsley. Gone are the architectural structures of previous years, and in its place, gardeners have devised spaces which look loose and feel free, with plenty of native plants and trees, such as the Hawthorn and Crab Apple

It is apt, therefore, that for the first time, The Newt in Somerset is the official headline sponsor of the show, and will be for the next four years. This working country estate in Somerset, located between the towns of Bruton and Castle Cary, celebrates the joy of the English garden. Its sumptuous gardens, woodland and orchards are an attraction in their own right.
