Artificial Turf At Chelsea Flower Show

The organisers of the world famous Chelsea Flower Show have agreed to allow the use of artificial grass for the first time in the shows history.

Garden designer Tony Smith will use the fake grass in a cave that makes up part of his display. As the cave is dark it would not support any plants so head of show development at the RHS Bob Sweet said the rules have been waived in this instance. Normally the RHS advocate the use of real plants and this is the first time that they have allowed artificial plants in a flower show.

Tony Smith describes his latest garden design as eccentric and suggests it is not meant to be the for the average young couple.

The most expensive garden in the history of the Chelsea Flower Show will be seen in the 2010 event.

The designer, David Domoney, is creating a £20million jewelled garden called the Ace of Diamonds which will be full of jewels on loan from Leviev store in Bond Street, London.

The garden design celebrates the link between flowers and precious jewels and many of the plants have gemstones in their names such as hosta diamond tiara and potentilla gold finger.

The Chelsea Flower Show opens later this month on the 25th May.
