what would John Evelyn think of the Chelsea Flower Show

Submitted by ju1i3 on Fri, 05/25/2012 - 06:54

Seeing the Royal Hospital Chelsea in the background of the Chelsea Flower Show which John Evelyn helped to establish and knowing his interest in gardening and horticulture I was wondering what he would have thought of the flower show feeding frenzy.  I'm currently reading "John Evelyn and His Milieu" and just finished "John Evelyn His Life and Times" so I'm very much in Evelyn-mode. I have no conclusion about what he would have thought, it's just a question I'm raising.
