Here is your virtual ticket to the best seat to the greatest gardening event in the world - the Chelsea Flower Show. Our expert team has created by far the most comprehensive Chelsea coverage in any medium - anywhere, ever.
It all happened live the third week of May 2000, and so the Show is officially over - with the Great Sell-off on Friday taking place in one of the worse downpours in history - but online here Chelsea continues to live forever, rain-proof and crowd-free. If you missed the Show, you can still See It All, with pictures & reports on every show garden & every floral marquee exhibit, including the educational marquee and the specialty groups - a wonderful online wandering totalling several hundred exhibits in all. In addition, we've got extensive daily reports on all the celebrities, exciting new plants and awards, plus a side-by-side comparison scrolling slide show of the outdoor Show Gardens with their medals.
In all, there are nearly 400 pictures and 300 webpages here for you to wander through. Join us for the greatest coverage of the greatest flower show on earth.

Who Are The Folks Behind this Site?
Our coverage was powered by the experts. judywhite pioneered live web coverage of Chelsea in 1997 on Time Warner's Virtual Garden and has covered the show online ever since; Chelsea judge Graham Rice also web-reported the Show that first year and every year since. Together they produced this year's site live - writing, photographing, creating webpages and uploading constantly through the week right from the Press Tent of the Show. Additional reporting was ably assisted by our enterprisingly investigative gardening editor, Martyn Cox, and their design was beautifully implemented by Louise Gardiner.
