A new digital photo exhibition has debuted, exploring the rich history of the Chelsea Flower Show (CFS).

The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) has curated archival materials that trace the event’s journey from its modest origins discussing potatoes to its transformation into a grand festival in Chiswick, eventually evolving into one of the largest gardening events globally.

This exhibition chronicles the many phases of the show over the last 200 years, detailing its establishment and the methods of promotion used in the pre-digital age.

The 2025 edition attracted tens of thousands of visitors over the course of five days, including the King and Queen.
