So, what is the Chelsea Flower Show?

The Chelsea Flower Show is the biggest event in every serious gardener’s calendar.

Held each May at the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), it’s an internationally-renowned event where:

• Elaborate and intrinsic garden designs are presented
• New plants are announced
• Tips and tricks are shared by all for growing the most splendid gardens.

It’s like New York fashion week, but for plants.

Promotional merchandise at the Chelsea Flower Show

The Chelsea Flower Show is a haven for all things floral. If you’re a lover of flower patterns on everything, you'd better bring your pocket money.

However, you won’t find pieces with big and bold branding, and you won’t find fidget spinners. Promotional merchandise at the Chelsea Flower Show is usually:

• Understated in its branding
• Subtle
• A collaboration between brands

Because they know their audience is looking for keepsakes, not giveaways.

What does official Chelsea Flower Show merch look like?

Is ‘floral’ too obvious an answer?

Because - floral.

You can’t blame the Chelsea Flower Show for knowing its USP.

However, examples of past Chelsea Flower Show merchandise include:

• Floral calendar gift sets, featuring official diaries and wall calendars
• ‘Wild Chelsea Flower Power’ seed packets, which included native British flowers, such as foxgloves and meadow cranesbill.
• Stationery packs with pens, notebooks, and floral-themed to-do lists.

Past Chelsea Flower Show merch collaborations

Amongst the usual homeware merch at The Chelsea Flower Show, you’ll find some extraordinary pieces of collaborations between big brand names and the RHS. From homeware to perfume, brands are rooting to be partnered with the prestigious brand.

1. Sophie Allport

In 2025, the RHS collaborated with homeware designer Sophie Allport for an exclusive collection of limited edition memorabilia. Her floral, nature-inspired designs have become a staple of cottage kitchens, where her pieces truly capture the beauty of the British countryside.

2. Penhaligon’s

Penhaligon’s collaborated with The King’s Foundation to create fragrances inspired by the King’s garden in Highgrove, which are often showcased at the Chelsea Flower Show.

Not only that, but last year, the Penhaligon’s store in King’s Road, London, burst into bloom with this awesome floral display.

3. Weleda Skin Food

Just this year, Weleda Skin Food, a world-renowned skincare brand, announced a three-year partnership with the Chelsea Flower Show, starting in 2026.

“From fashion catwalks around the world – where 99% of professional make-up artists carry Weleda in their kits – to the horticultural catwalk of Chelsea’s Main Avenue, it is the perfect setting to celebrate our 100 years of Skin Food.”

Creating merch packs inspired by the Chelsea Flower Show

So, the burning question: what would we include in Chelsea Flower Show-inspired merch packs?

Well, obviously, they’d have to be floral, and naturally, they’d have to include products adored by gardeners.

And of course: seeds.

Here’s our top product selection for a floral-inspired merch pack, inspired by the Chelsea Flower Show, for brands wanting to promote the new season.

Clothing

Gardeners love colour, they love comfort, and they love to look as fabulous as the flowers they’re tending to. They need pockets, they need sun protection, and they need fashion (we need to make Meryl Streep proud).

Accessories

Gardening is hard work, especially when the weather starts to warm up! Make sure your favourite gardeners stay hydrated, full of snacks, and have something to carry all their favourite tools in.

Skincare

Sun protection is a high priority for a gardener’s skincare routine, even if sunshine is a rarity in the UK.

Also, have you ever had soil stuck under your fingernails? It’s not fun. A manicure set for after your gardeners have been playing in the mud is a must.
