Chelsea @ home
Have you ever fancied having a little piece of RHS Chelsea Flower Show at home in your garden? Well, now's your chance.
We've asked some of this year's garden designers to let us have detailed planting plans of parts of their gardens that you can recreate at home.
The plans show which plants they've used and how many of each you'll need to reproduce the bed or border at home. The designs range from 2.1-4m (7-14ft) in length, so even the plans from the larger show gardens can be re-created in the smallest of gardens.
Just follow the plans, which are in Adobe Acrobat pdf format, and enjoy your own little bit of Chelsea @ home.
