FfFfFfFF 58,120 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 As an online version of the Chelsea flower show kicks off, horticultural experts are highlighting the mental health benefits of green spaces, with evidence showing people are appreciating their gardens more than ever during lockdown. The annual show had been due to welcome royals, celebrities and members of the public from Monday, until the coronavirus pandemic forced the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) to cancel the physical event. Instead the show is heading online with a programme of virtual events featuring top gardeners taking place 18-23 May. Viewers will be able to participate in behind-the-scenes tours of award-winning nurseries, see potting demonstrations, take part in a school gardening club with activities for kids, and join lunchtime Q&As with gardening experts. The event will be particularly welcomed by those who have embraced green spaces during lockdown. An RHS poll found 57% of people who have gardens and outdoor spaces value them more now than before lockdown, and 71% feel they have helped with their mental health in recent weeks.
