CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW | Decor, Fashion and a Riverside London Hotel

Join me for a few days at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, an iconic English tradition that celebrates the beauty of nature and the artistry of gardening. In this video, we explore the show's highlights—from the democratic spirit of garden design to the evocative scents and stories behind the exhibits. I also share a very personal project: fitting beautiful handles and lighting from Corston Architectural Detail in 'Baba’s Barn.' This stone outbuilding was built by my father, and adding these tactile, jewellery-like pieces feels like a tribute to his memory and the sense of place he created. We’ll also step inside the 'Garden Lover’s Library' for Country Life magazine, chat with George Saumarez Smith about the history of a very special captain’s desk, and find a moment of calm by the river at Fulham Pier Hotel.
