Chelsea's Greatest Garden 2013

For 100-years the world's best landscape designers have descended on London for the Royal Horticulture Societies annual Chelsea Flower Show. For the past 10-years an Australian designer has been given the opportunity to exhibit; and while there have been some good results, we have yet to win Best in Show. This year, Aussie designer Phillip Johnson has conceived the most ambitious garden ever attempted at Chelsea. Can he wow the judges and demonstrate how great design and environmental sustainability can work hand-in-hand?

Join Selling Houses Australia's Charlie Albone for two one-hour specials on the likeable Aussie landscaper trying to impress the Queen and the British gardening establishment with an audacious native garden in the middle of London. The biggest, most expensive exhibit Chelsea has ever seen, over three levels installed in just three-weeks... can it be done?
