Join Gary Lewis, owner of Phoenix Perennials, for the colour and excitement of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show combined with some of the south of England’s finest gardens. From our base in the lovely spa town of Tunbridge Wells we’ll immerse ourselves in a selection of fabulous gardens from Lady Churchill’s magnificent rose garden at Chartwell House to the beloved garden masterpiece created by Vita Sackville-West at Sissinghurst to the bold and dramatic plantings at Great Dixter. Admire the opulence of Hampton Court Palace and marvel at the Victorian glass houses at Kew Gardens as we tour the grand gardens around London. Enjoy a full day at the Chelsea Flower Show on the less-busy Members Day. This is the world’s greatest floral show and is sure to be an inspiration.
