Ahead of this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show, it was revealed that the monarch will allow garden gnomes to be featured in the horticultural displays, ending a 13-year ban. This marks a significant change for the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) event, where garden gnomes have only appeared once before—in 2013, to celebrate the show’s centenary.
