Jim Shore talks about the Chelsea Flower Show!

May 19, 2026

'Every spring, something truly special happens across the pond in London at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. It’s a celebration of beauty, creativity, and a love of gardens that our friends in the UK have such a wonderful way of sharing with the world.

I’ve always admired the charm and character of the English countryside… the history, the care, and the artistry you see in every garden. There’s just something timeless about it.

But you know, standing here in Glencairn Garden, I’m reminded that the spirit of that beauty and that creativity can be found anywhere.

As an artist, I believe inspiration doesn’t belong to just one place. Sometimes it begins with a single flower… a bit of color… or a quiet moment in a garden.

The Chelsea Flower Show is such a beautiful expression of that spirit, and we’re so grateful for the inspiration it brings, year after year.

So to our friends across the pond, thank you for sharing your gardens, your creativity, and your love of beauty with all of us.

And wherever you are this spring, I hope you’ll take a little inspiration from nature… and let something beautiful grow.'
