From May 13 to 19, in this well-known London neighborhood and promoted by the Royal Horticulture Society, a new edition of the [Chelsea Flower Show](https://www.rhs.org.uk/Shows-Events/RHS-Chelsea-Flower-Show) was held, the most prestigious and oldest gardening event in England.
As every year, visitors were able to enjoy the presentation of new plant varieties and many gardens with interesting design solutions according to the Festival's typologies: Show Gardens, Fresh Gardens and Artisan Gardens.
In this edition, the winning gardens were those based on designs of historical inspiration, such as reflections on the classic English garden or on the agricultural landscape.
The winning proposal of this edition, the Laurent-Perrier Chatsworth Garden designed by Dan Pearson, was inspired by a classic of the 19th century English garden, the historic park of Chatsworth Castle in Derbyshire created by Joseph Paxton and Lancelot "Capability" Brown. The elements that characterize this garden, such as rockeries, miniature water courses or naturalized vegetation, have been captured in this garden recreating a fairy-tale atmosphere.
Two other very attractive gardens were the Perfumers' garden in Grasse, winner of a gold medal, and Sentebale - Hope in Vulnerability, which won a silver medal, as well as the public's award for best Show Garden.
The Perfumers' garden in Grasse designed by James Basson and promoted by l'Occitane was conceived as a tribute to the Grasse landscape and its historical role in the perfume industry in France. Through Mediterranean vegetation characterized by aromatics and medicinal plants, distributed along stone walls and paths, a composition of plants and colors typical of the spontaneous vegetation of this region is recreated.
While the Sentebale - Hope in Vulnerability designed by Matt Keightley wanted to represent the landscape of the South African region of Lesotho through native plants of vivid colors, mixed with some [euphorbias](http://www.salagraupera.com/es/cataleg/general/category/euphorbia-euphorbiaceae-3), agaves and poppies native to this region, presented for the first time in this edition of the show.
