This week is the start of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. So, in homage to one of the biggest flower shows on Earth, we’ve picked out properties with the most impressive gardens that are stiff competition for those on display at this week's Chelsea Flower Show.
Super stylish
Clean lines and minimalist design dominate the living space of this chic three bedroom house in Fulham, which extends to the stylish garden. Here, grey brick walls frame neat strips of grass that are planted with olive trees and neatly pruned topiary bushes, adding to the simple, contemporary aesthetic of this Chelsea-worthy garden.
The secret garden
This three bedroom apartment in Notting Hill has a leafy, landscaped garden that is in keeping with its quirky interior style. Amongst towering mature trees, potted bamboo and a diverse array of planted bushes and flowers, a tiered walkway leads up to a secluded decked area where this is even a slide!
Family friendly
Round the back of this recently renovated three bedroom apartment is the immaculately kept garden, where tall trees, including palms, firs and sycamores tower over a neat lawn that leads to a partitioned area for barbecues. The variety of plants could certainly rival any of the gardens at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show this year.
English country garden
With views over the fields beyond, this charming two bedroom house in Surrey is a fine example of an English country garden. Apple trees, evergreens and a large willow tree sit amongst planted borders of shrubs and perennials, which keep the garden looking alive throughout the year.
Modern and minimalistic
Architect designed throughout, this striking four bedroom home’s garden also benefits from a touch of design magic. Sand coloured stone paving and light wood horizontal fencing merge to form a contemporary backdrop for ultra-modern white planters and minimalist garden furniture. Plant wise, there is a mix of grasses, bamboo and a palm tree for a simple green look.
