The RHS Chelsea Flower Show – the world’s most prestigious flower show – returns to West London from 20-24 May 2025, and many partners in the RHS licensing programme will also be there.
From its humble beginnings as an event in a single tent in 1913 to its present status as the most famous flower show on earth, the RHS Chelsea Flower Show retains its unrivalled status as the premier event in horticulture. 

For garden and landscape designers and their sponsors, specialist nurseries, florists and specialist sellers, it continues to be unmissable – and the garden-loving public agrees. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show attracts 170,000 visitors each year and is a must-see event for millions more who enjoy the extensive coverage of the show on TV and online.

It’s also a marvellous showcase for many of the licensees in the ever-expanding Royal Horticultural Society licensing programme, including a number that have recently launched new products that they will highlight at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

Gardening will be a major theme of course, and long-term RHS partner Burgon & Ball, the UK’s longest-established manufacturer of garden tools, will be showing off its revolutionary new garden tool range, BoronGreen, which offers a unique innovation: a combination of Boron steel and recycled steel that combines sound sustainability credentials with strength and durability.

For planting, there will be the ever-popular RHS range of flower and vegetable seed from Mr Fothergill's Seeds and, with a neat twist on both sustainability and planting, the RHS Plantable Seed Paper Calendars and Seed Paper Christmas Crackers from Willsow. These will not only be useful for appointments and Christmas fun, but they also contain a mixture of seeds, including popular wildflower and cottage garden varieties.

Gabriel Ash, the only timber greenhouse company endorsed by the RHS, will again showcase its delightful and durable buildings. Hartley Botanic will exhibit its aluminium-framed greenhouses and garden rooms, and Plankbridge will show why it is an RHS-endorsed designer and builder of contemporary shepherd’s huts. Meanwhile, Bramblecrest, the premium outdoor furniture brand, will display its RHS collection of dining, lounging and reclining outdoor furniture and accessories. 

RHS licensees are not just about gardens and gardening, of course, but also about the RHS as an inspiration for a wide variety of products. Atlantic Mats, for example, will show off its popular range of hard-wearing, eco-friendly washable doormats and runners. Not only are they robust and long-lasting, but they also use designs inspired by the RHS Lindley Collections, the world’s finest collection of botanical art. The natural world also plays a part in products from Freckleface, which offers beautiful scent combinations inspired by nature in its home fragrances – most recently, its RHS Heritage Tea Lights & Wax Melts.

Fabrics, too, can be inspired by nature as the RHS and Sofas & Stuff will prove with their eagerly awaited fourth collection, which will launch at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. This year’s collection is called Roots of a Masterpiece and journeys into the heart of the RHS-Sofas & Stuff collaboration, from historic artwork to thoughtfully designed fabric and, finally, to beautifully handcrafted furniture. It includes both enhanced versions of previous fabrics inspired by great botanical artists, and a delightful new RHS fabric for 2025 called Etta’s Bouquet.

Also new this year is an RHS partnership with homeware, kitchenware and accessories brand Sophie Allport for its 2025 RHS Chelsea Flower Show collection. This exclusive RHS-licensed collection includes a mug, a small tray, a cotton tea towel, a signed print and a cotton tote bag, drawing design inspiration from both English cottage gardens and, adding a playful touch, RHS Chelsea’s first garden from BBC Gardeners’ World presenter Monty Don: the BBC Radio 2 Dog Garden.

Of course, the British weather may not cooperate with the outdoor venue, but don’t worry. There will be protection, if needed, from The Original Muck Boot Company, which produces a multipurpose range of gardening boots to keep feet dry, warm and comfortable. And, whatever the weather, visitors can toast the show with boxed champagne from Vranken Pommery or Babylonstoren’s Official Rosé of the 2025 RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

Cathy Snow, Licensing Manager, RHS, says: “It is, as ever, a joy to see so many of our valued partners at the world’s best-known flower show. The RHS is an inspiration for some truly exciting gardening and related products but, thanks to its unmatched design assets and associations, it has inspired products in numerous other categories, as visitors and RHS supporters at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025 will no doubt be surprised and delighted to discover!”
