Happy to hang around @the_rhs #chelseaflowershow all week - however Team Lycett are busy so I need to tear myself away for a few hours!
Thanks for sheltering me in the glasshouse of dreams @alitex_
And thanks for dressing me in the green suit of dreams @cathcartlondon
And Tache on point as always thanks to @captainfawcett

This is the magnificent, truly talented @aritanderson - an incredible garden designer, writer and presenter. And, one of the kindest, most genuine and empathetic people I am fortunate to know.
She designed the beautiful, thought provoking @parkinsonsuk @the_rhs Show Garden.
Even after having spent weeks creating, and surviving the emotions of her garden being judged, she found time to come and chat with me about the RHS Floristry Ambassador’s Choice Award - this year awarded to @ofaspace

Always a highlight of @the_rhs #chelseaflowershow is spending time with my fellow Ambassador @nickichappers as we review, appreciate and enjoy the various Installations created within the Floristry Section of the Great Pavilion.
This years worthy winners of the RHS Floristry Ambassador’s Choice Award are @ofaspace with their thought-provoking and perfectly executed installation
And thanks to those lovely folk @cathcartlondon for ensuring I’m so smartly turned out #gifted

Today I had the honour and privilege of spending time within the thought-provoking, inspiring and carefully curated @rhs #chelseaflowershow 2026 @parkinsonsuk Show Garden - A Garden for Every Parkinson’s Journey -
designed by the most amazing human @aritanderson and sponsored by
@project.giving.back
2 years of planning and design shows in every detail. The palette gradually shifts from greys and greens to lilac and lavender tones with pops of stronger cerise and deeper purple shades. Pale ivory and lemon, with soft citrus greens create an area of sanctuary during hours of darkness, as insomnia and sleep disruption are two major characteristics of Parkinson’s. Episodes of “freezing” when the body can feel anchored and immobile are also characteristic of Parkinson’s. Such episodes can be relieved and reduced by a change of rhythm, or movement, hence the iconic innovative Water Rail which wends throughout this considered space, a wonderfully tactile hand rail / water rill love child, offering subtle support and intervention in place of a ubiquitous hand rail.
At its heart a seat surrounded by The Parkinson’s Resilience Rose a scentless rose - a deliberate and poignant plant choice, as losing sense of smell is one of the early signs of Parkinson’s in some.
I have always known her as a woman of empathy and deep emotional intelligence and every plant, stalk and stem within this glorious garden is deliberate and beautiful.
Well Done Arit and Thank You
And Thank You @soho_scarves for the neckwear #gifted

A wonderful day @the_rhs #chelseaflowershow - horticultural heaven and the opportunity to bump into Flower Friends including @royanikkhah and my fellow @garden_collective_ Scribe @advollyr

Infused with scented pelargonium leaves and crushed herbs, inspired by the glory of a summer garden, this delightful limited edition collaboration with the incomparable Simon Lycett, floral designer to His Majesty The King, supplier to The Historic Royal Palaces, author, television personality and the visionary behind the blooms for Four Weddings and a Funeral. Magnificently moustachioed, nattily turned out, a man who has made a lifelong art of filling the world with flowers.
🌸 On First Acquaintance:
Scented pelargonium, pressed between finger and thumb, a squeeze of bitter orange, a sprig of wild mint
🌼 The Heart of the Matter:
Warm stone, crushed rocket, a peppery wit.
🌹A Lasting Impression:
Cedar, vetiver, patchouli, the last golden hour of a perfect afternoon.
“The fragrance of pelargonium leaves is like the love child of roses and lemons. When I smelled Botanica I thought: Captain Fawcett, you've got it. It's like a waft of scent floating over the garden wall. I smell bloody gorgeous. It's blooming lovely."

As the beautiful British Blossoms are coming to an end here in sunny south London, I couldn’t resist one last bowl filled with these beautiful blooms!

The elegance of flowers arranged within an Urn always gets me! Be they perfectly balanced or cheekily asymmetrical - when filled with floral fabulousness they demand attention and become a brilliant statement.
