For five days only, Lavender Green Flowers in Chelsea was transformed into an immersive, multi-sensory floral wonderland, presenting a visitors’ experience like no other for Londoners and tourists alike. In celebration of the start of the great British summer, launching on 22 May, it coincided with Chelsea in Bloom and RHS Chelsea Flower Show, is For The Love of Flowers’.

As guests arrived, they stepped into a whimsical realm, akin to peering “down the rabbit hole,” where a mystical haven awaited below. Covered in moss, adorned with roots, rocks, and branches, this enchanting space beckoned exploration. Moving through living walls and venturing amidst diverse botanical landscapes, mist delicately danced around their feet, carrying with it the sweet fragrance of blooming flowers. The air was filled with the gentle buzz of bees and the soothing whispers of the wind, creating an immersive sensory experience.

As visitors ventured through the captivating areas, each one thoughtfully designed to honour the breathtaking splendour of nature, they encountered floral masterpieces and bespoke hand-painted murals at every turn… A sumptuous feast of canapés by Pocket Rocket also awaited guests, beautifully presented on trays that gracefully made their way around this floral wonderland, enchanting guests at every moment.
