In Britain, the month of May in the UK means the Chelsea Flower Show. It’s the start of the London season but, more than that, it’s the epitome of the complex relationship between city and countryside that has defined the U.K. since the Industrial Revolution. Plus Pimms, panama hats (should the sun be out) and umbrellas (if it rains); it’s held in May after all. Several names appear year after year, often in partnership with charities; M&G is a main sponsor, Morgan Stanley is another regular. This year it’s back with a South African winelands garden designed by Jonathan Snow, a first timer at Chelsea.
