Show gardens have been inspired by the famous nurse Florence Nightingale and also Psalm 23.  There are gardens to help tackle climate change, a nursery showing a whole new collection of plants and a school, where the students prove the value of houseplants.  Six House Plant Studios will give you plenty of inspiration for making your home greener!  For example, why not create your own forest at home?!

There are container gardens, balcony gardens, artisan gardens, show gardens, feature gardens and sanctuary gardens to enjoy and take inspiration from.   There's nothing like strolling through and enjoy the work of other people and then going home with your head full of ideas and plans.   

Chelsea's Great Pavilion will be ablaze with glorious colour,  and there's an Italian-style piazza surrounding the monument with enormous olive trees, cypress and handmade terracotta pots to add to the Mediterranean flavour.  So you'll see some rare and unusual produce not normally found at RHS Chelsea. 

Needless to say, there will be ample opportunity to stroll, browse and shop, and enjoy food and drink. 

Take a look at the RHS website for more information and to book your tickets - they are going fast!

Did you see the Euro2020 football match between England and Denmark on Wednesday night?   Wasn't it exciting?  I really felt for the goalkeepers and players at such a tense moment.   Well done to everyone involved!

Anyway, the match took place at Wembley and if you've got a football lover in your life, you could give them a Wembley Stadium Tour as a gift!

This isn't a gift membership, but it's a chance to go behind the scenes and find out what Wembley is like there.

Virgin Experience Days have stadium tours for one adult, for two adults, for an adult and child, and for two adults and two children.  

You can take in the changing rooms, the players' tunnel and the dug outs on tours that last about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Kick off to go to Virgin Experience Days to find out more

By the way, Virgin Experience Days have football gifts and tours for fans of Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, Fulham, Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Millwall, Newcastle United and the London Stadium.  Find out more here
