Alan Roper and David Domoney film next "Step by Step" episode on the Blue Diamond garden at RHS Chelsea Flower Show

Alan Roper and David Domoney took time out on Sunday from the finishing of the Blue Diamond garden in the Floral Marquee of this weeks RHS Chelsea Flower show to record for the Chelsea Flower Show special of Step-by-Step Gardening with David Domoney.

 

The episode is packed with Chelsea magic, gardening tips, and exclusive access as they step inside the gardens, the nursery, and the story behind the show. From show garden planning to perfect plant selection, houseplant inspiration, and even the famous Chelsea Chop.

 

With Blue Diamond CEO Alan Roper, David also takes you to the heart of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show from the beautiful Bridgemere Show Gardens.

 

They explore four medal-winning Chelsea gardens that now live on at Bridgemere, including the iconic Cottage Garden that started it all, rebuilt brick by brick after Chelsea in 1988.

 

Then behind the scenes at Blue Diamond’s Three Shires Nursery, where thousands of plants are grown, selected, cared for, and prepared for their moment at Chelsea.

 

Alan told GTN Xtra: "From the timeless beauty of Bridgemere Show Gardens to the world-famous stage of RHS Chelsea, this special episode celebrates the plants, people, and passion behind show gardening — with Chelsea magic, expert tips, and exclusive behind-the-scenes of our Blue Diamond Garden Centres' Immersive Walk-Through Home Grown Garden, with full 'Step-by-Step' access every step of the way.”

 

 

Watch the Chelsea special, out this Friday.  It is not to be missed!
