Details of this years RHS Chelsea Flower Show - one of the biggest dates in the gardening calendar - have been announced.
The 2008 event, taking place from May 20 24, is set to feature over 600 exhibitors including 50 gardens and 100 floral exhibitors in the Great Pavillion.
International exhibitors from Sweden, Barbados, Sri Lanka, France and Trinidad and Tobago are all set to feature, while experienced growers such as Nottcutts, Kelways and McBean's Orchids are expected to carry on their tradition of appearing at every show since its early days.
Visitors will be able to experience an insight into the gardens of the future via the Continuous Learning area within the Great Pavilion, where a range of scientific and educational shows will tackle the theme of gardening with climate change.
For those with a specific interest in floristry, The Floral Design marquee will offer hints and tips on floral arrangements, while there will also be designs by top florists who have teamed up with fashion houses and designers .
The Forum will host a series of daily talks from some of the UK's most recognised gardening experts who will take questions from the crowd.
