So, this is it, the first official day of RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2014! It’s just so exciting being back here with our very first Show garden on Main Avenue.
After all the incredible hard work, The BrandAlley Renaissance Garden is finally finished and has surpassed our dreams. Our phenomenal garden designer, Paul Hervey-Brookes and his team have poured their hearts, souls and passion into creating our glamorous garden, which transports you straight to Italy. They’ve worked miracles – it looks spectacular in the sunshine and we hope that everyone loves it as much as we do.
Today is Press Day, when royalty, stars of the stage and screen, the press and gardening glitterati all get their chance for a look around the Show – the horticultural equivalent to the Oscars. But we don’t want you to miss out! Inspired by the romance and style of celebrated Italian Renaissance gardens, our Show garden is designed to reflect your ultimate aspirational lifestyle. And we want to share the whole incredible experience of Chelsea week with you.
So, join us now as we start our Italian-inspired adventure. Be the first to see exclusive behind-the-scene footage of the build from start to glorious completion in our just-released video, including a special interview with Paul Hervey-Brookes. Enjoy!
