Chelsea Flower Show
If you are in Britain this week. you should make a point of going to the Chelsea Flower Show. I’ve been there a couple of times, and even if your interest in flowers isn’t in the avid gardener class, it is a great experience.
Chelsea isn’t quite as old as the Rochester Lilac Festival, but the 600 varieties of lilacs are no match for the diversity of the Chelsea Show.
[Note: I lived a block and a half from the lilacs in Rochester, and when they were in bloom it was a great way to get rid of the odor of a house that had been closed up all winter.]
