Tickets are still available for the Chelsea Flower Show, May 25-29, 2010 in London. Here's the link to the Royal Horticultural Society which sponsors it. In the upper right hand side you can purchase tickets right away, lower below gives you a quick idea what's still available as far as dates. It's not too late to book!
Since we ARE talking London, a sunhat/sunscreen AND umbrella would be good to bring along, as well as a nice packed lunch and cold drinks. (I recommend a crayfish and arugula sandwich from Pret-a-Manger on the Kings Road or CHOCOLATES from the Artisan Chocolatier nearby on I think, Sloane Street. Otherwise, there are food trucks but the lines are long. ) You should check the site to see if they allow you to bring lightweight-foldout seating 'cause last time I was there, there wasn't enough seating. Short of that, wear comfortable shoes and be ready to have a long day on your feet. There WILL be security checks. And you might spot an English gardening celebrity! There are plenty of nice restaurants on the Kings Road and Pimlico Road for dinner afterwards. (See my post about the Orange Tree Pub.) Which you will REALLY appreciate with a cool refreshing bottle of wine.
And if you go don't forget to come back and tell me all about it!
