Harry Veitch

One hundred years ago a pioneering nurseryman named Sir Harry Veitch persuaded the some of the most prestigious horticultural figures of the time to come together in a ground breaking flower show. It was staged in the grounds of the Royal Hospital and formed the prototype from which the RHS Chelsea Flower Show was developed.
