Chelsea
This new edition features colourful photographs showing the painstaking planning needed to stage the Chelsea Flower Show, with a special feature on the 2005 prize-winning gardens.
Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show
Chelsea Flower Show is an annual, world famous and well-loved horticultural and social event. In May 2013 Chelsea celebrates its hundredth birthday. This book will be the essential centenary souvenir, and an enduring look at what makes Chelsea special. A learned but accessible text will explore how the show has evolved, how it is has formed part of the social calendar and how it has reflected and shaped tastes in garden design and planting over the years. Outstanding personalities will be highlighted as well as outstanding gardens. Sprinkled through the book, short pieces by significant nurserymen and nurserywomen, designers, organisers, visitors and patrons will describe what Chelsea means to them. The book will be arranged chronologically, with chapters on the early shows, shows between the wars and decade by decade to the present day. Illustrations will largely be drawn from the extensive Royal Horticultural Society archive and will include photographs in colour and black and white, plans, posters and other ephemera. Many will be published here for the first time.
The Flower Yard
The Times Best Gardening Books of the Year 2021 'The Flower Yard is simply gorgeous. Inspirational, sumptuous and packed with refreshingly down-to-earth advice. I love this book.' Nigel Slater 'The Kew-trained king of the small-space garden.' Guardian Arthur Parkinson's town garden is like a path of pots, a tiny, exposed stage on bricks. Despite its small size, a flower-filled jungle in Venetian tones is grown here each year, in defiance of urbanisation. The plants act like drapes, closing gently as their growth engulfs the front door, from either side of the path, to the buzz of precious bees. This is gardening done entirely in pots, yet on a grand scale that will inspire anyone who wants t...

Festival Places
Festivals have burgeoned in rural areas, revitalising old traditions and inventing new reasons to celebrate. How do festivals contribute to tourism, community and a rural sense of belonging? What are their cultural, environmental and economic dimensions? This book answers such questions - featuring contributions from leading geographers, historians, anthropologists, tourism scholars and cultural researchers. It draws on a range of case studies: from the rustic charm of agricultural shows and family circuses to the effervescent festival of Elvis Presley impersonators in Parkes; from wildflower collecting to the cosmopolitan beats of ChillOut, Australia’s largest non-metropolitan gay and lesbian festival. Festivals as diverse as youth surfing carnivals, country music musters, Aboriginal gatherings in the remote Australian outback, Scottish highland gatherings and German Christmas celebrations are united in their emphasis on community, conviviality and fun.

The People's Gardener
With his trademark bowler hat and clipboard, Jim Buttress is a familiar figure to garden lovers. As head judge at the RHS he presides over shows like Chelsea and Harrogate, as well as the colossal Britain in Bloom competition where the local rivalries and politics are terrifying. He's also known to millions from the BBC's Big Allotment Challenge.Now in The People's Gardener, he describes how the working class boy from south London who's never passed an exam in his life became Head of the Royal Parks and gardener to the Queen Mother. He reveals what it was like to join the RHS and the resistance he met from the 'old guard' who didn't appreciate his down to earth manner and outspokenness, and how he copes with the pressures of judging - from the mighty Chelsea to the smaller village shows. He also describes the skulduggery that goes on behind the scenes during the Britain in Bloom competition, as well as the passion and skill shown by thousands of gardeners around the country.Charming and funny, and packed with unforgettable characters, this book will delight everyone who shares Jim's love of gardening.
