Chelsea Flower Present – 2005

Chelsea Flower Present: I’ve by no means had any need to go to the Chelsea Flower Present and nonetheless have by no means been, however in 2005 I used to be persuaded by buddies to go together with them to {photograph} individuals on the streets taking flowers house on the finish of the present. I’d beforehand largely and intentionally averted this and different occasions that have been a part of London’s Social Season and I’ve not been since.

I hadn’t recognized that this occurred, however here’s what I wrote again in 2005 (with the standard minor corrections):

“Chelsea Flower Present is the most important occasion of the gardening season, and the crowds are big. This yr an additional day was added to chop down on the jams, although i don’t know the way efficient it was. Until you’re a gardening photographer, probably the most fascinating a part of the entire occasion is the top, when most of the vegetation on present are bought off and proudly carried house by their purchasers. As you’ll be able to see from the photographs, they carry them alongside the streets to the bus cease or automotive park or coach, offering a fairly uncommon spectacle.”

Wanting by means of the work now, listed here are among the footage that caught my eye.

I put fairly lots of footage on-line and you’ll see many extra right here on My London Diary.
