Referaat "Chelsea Flower Show"
This
one off event was backed but not run by the RHS, which cancelled its own Great
Spring Show for that year.
The RHS Great Spring Flower Show had normally been based at the Inner Temple in
the hart of London, but in 1913 RHS had idea of moving the Show to Holland Park.
They thought that the Show was becoming too big for the Inner Temple site. Anyway
it stayed in first place.
July 1912 the RHS President Sir Trevor Lawrence had met Major General Crutchley
Of the Royal Hospital at Chelsea, and the two began to talk about a 14-day
reservation of the gardens and a 14-year agreement. At the RHS Council meeting the
following month, 13 August 1912, all had been decided. The show would move to
Chelsea for 1913.The Council then turned to more pressing matters: primulas and
experiments in electrical cultivation, for which the RHS would be "put to no expense
whatsoever".
