It's been going almost nonstop since 1913 but the Chelsea Flower Show in 2000 is different. The old marquee, well known as the world's largest, has gone - replaced by new two state-of-the-art pvc/polyester pavilions. Its passing is lamented by some but many are glad to see the back of it. There are other changes too, including new marquees in new areas and show gardens in new locations. There was more of everything this year. |
