Bringing Chelsea to the Midlands

Inspired by Chelsea? Well we’ve got some great news for you then. At BBC Gardeners’ World Live you can meet and see displays from no less than 36 exhibitors from the Grand Floral Pavilion at Chelsea - and you can shop from them too!

So if you’ve been watching the flower show unfurl on the BBC from the comfort of your own home, now’s the time to take stock of what you’ve seen, jot down the exhibitors you loved and the plants you simply can’t live without and come to see, shop and learn from them at BBC Gardeners’ World Live.

One of the best bits about BBC Gardeners’ World Live is that, unlike Chelsea, whatever plants take your fancy you can actually select, buy and take home on the day. You can even take advantage of our Plant Creche so you don't need to carry your haul with you all day!

And there are a host more nurseries to choose from, all carefully selected to be part of BBC Gardeners’ World Live because of their quality plants, unusual varieties and reputation amongst those in the know.
