Joe Perkins Design Returns to RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025. We’re thrilled to be working in partnership with The Kings Trust (formerly The Prince’s Trust) to bring a Main Avenue garden to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in May 2025!

The Chelsea Flower Show, the annual spectacle hosted by the Royal Horticultural Society, remains the epitome of horticultural elegance and innovation.
