It was more traditional then, not televised (only some news reports), and not quite so crowded. <br /><br />I too am curious about Seedlip and took a look at their website and then did a search for US vendors.

The market would seem to be to be a large one: pregnant women, Muslims and adherents of other religions that proscribe alcohol, people avoiding it for health reasons (this Stephanie Mencimer piece on the link w/breast cancer hasn't gotten nearly enough attn, e.g.: https://m.motherjones.com/politics/2018/04/did-drinking-give-me-breast-cancer/) or for personal safety (driving, alertness in an unsafe environment, etc.).<br />OTOH I wouldn't have picked peas as the plant to start with, but who knows?

I vote YES! 2) I can't even wrap my brain around the pea garden. I might have a pea brain. 3) Distilled drinks with no alcohol. Hm. It could be the next great thing..but I suspect this brilliant gardener is lacking children. As a mother of 2 legged beasts...distilled spirits w/out alcohol is sacrilegious.

Adore it. Chelsea...Sarah Prices garden is amazing. Adore it. Chelsea is a bit of an institution and more than a garden show. It's a highlight of the social year where people mingle and are seen, like Ascot , and other such quite traditional must dos. I suppose it's a bit like Swedish midsummer, US Labour day, or even independence day. It's a thing one must do once in your life. Bit there are also other shows like it, Hampton court is also very big but possibly not as posh. Chelsea is in Chelsea darling. I've been to it and although the show gardens are nice, I didn't like the atmosphere, the opulent luxury, horrendous prices and 80% of people don't care a toss for plants. Ha! Anyway, it's an institution, a carry on tradition, a tribute to English history, and that's why it's on tv. We also have springwatch and autumnwatch which is a week of watching wildlife life prime time. Sometimes nothing happens at all!
