* These articles were featured in the July and August
2006 issues of the membership magazine of the RHS Japan.
* Although the majority of members know about the Chelsea Flower Show, not all have had an opportunity to visit the Show, or to visit Britain. The readers have a keen interest in gardens and a knowledge of plants and design, but may not be aware of the cultural and social environment of the Chelsea Flower Show - for example, they would not have much chance to see the BBC coverage of it, nor be able to read national newspaper articles on the Show which is a national event in Britain.
* This article is intended not only to introduce an overall feeling of the flower show, but also to reveal how the Chelsea Flower Show works and how people make this event happen.
* The articles only cover this year's Chelsea Flower Show, the author has visited the Show for the last 4 years as fieldwork.
