The RHS Chelsea Flower Show is back for May 2008 with all the floral delights everyone has come to expect.

The biggest and best explosion of colour and horticulture in bloom the world over, the RHS Chelsea Flower show is here once again this year with plenty of plants, flowers, trees, sculptures, water features and celebrities.

Full of the brightest and best blooms from all over the country, the Chelsea Flower Show is London's pride and joy in spring, turning the sometimes grey capital into a riot of colourful patterns and bringing some much needed green to the eye of the city. Thousands of people descend onto the RHS Chelsea Flower show every year for advice on plant growing, to buy special seeds or simply to marvel at the amazing gardening spectacle.

A draw for gardeners as well as non gardeners, the RHS Chelsea Flower Show features display gardens that showcase different species and varieties at their best and encourage visitors to perhaps consider these unusual specimens for their own homes. Check out the different themed flower gardens for inspiration in your own garden. Show Gardens, Courtyard Gardens and the Urban Gardens all have excellent ideas to get your green fingers itching to get out that trowel and start planting.

Forums and the chance to speak with professional gardeners are a big draw for anyone with questions or queries about how to deal with certain plants. Daily show talks also give you the chance to learn from the pros at the Chelsea Flower Show too. With floral art experts on hand to show you what to do with the blooms once they are cut and gardening experts to give you advice to grow them, every aspect of gardening and horticulture is covered at the RHS Chelsea Flower show.

Gardening has become much more of a mainstream pastime over the years and with the BBC covering the RHS Chelsea Flower Show events on their cameras, you are also likely to spot a celebrity gardener or two as they wander the grounds before recording their material. A big draw for ladies of a certain age, Alan Titchmarsh will be on site for the entire duration of the flower show, so keep your eyes peeled for this celebrity gardening god!

Been inspired by the wonderful flower displays on show? Take the opportunity to buy some plants for your garden before you leave the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Statues, landscape gardening items, greenhouses, ornaments, plants, flowers and everything else you can think of is for sale at the flower show, making it the perfect shopping location for gardening fans.
