Yup, Chelsea Flower Show is probably the most famous horticulturalists’ knees up in town, but it’s Hampton Court Palace that takes the crown as the world’s biggest flower show. Go along to hobnob with famous faces including Hamza Yassin, Caroline Quentin and Kate Bradbury, who'll be hosting talks and workshops alongside plenty of others.
Glimpse the show gardens, which offer an example of how perfect the great outdoors can be when it's sculpted by professionals and untouched by marauding wildlife, and surround yourself with gorgeous blooms in the festival of roses and the floral marquee, some of which you can even take home.
