Viewing RHS Chelsea Flower Show at Royal Hospital Chelsea

The last few days to catch the annual RHS Chelsea Flower Show, a highlight of the cultural calendar for many who flock to the Royal Hospital Chelsea to see the most spectacular horticultural displays of the year. Expecting outstanding garden designs, exclusive shopping and of course, fabulous floral arrangements.

There really is something for everyone at the Flower Show. This year, explore what is possible in a smaller space – the reality for many urban gardeners – and with the challenges that town and city gardeners face, from flood management, pollution and noise. Head to the dedicated ‘Balcony and Container Gardens’ section for inspiration and practical tips and advice.

The Great Pavilion is where it all blooms in abundance: here, you’ll find the best growers and nurseries from around the world exhibiting. It’s the most prestigious display in horticulture, with an unrivalled collection of plant experts eager to share their knowledge – most of the plants aren’t available to buy here, until the sell-off from 4pm on Saturday – but the imaginative, ambitious displays never fail to amaze and delight. It’s irresistible.

Viewing Do Ho Suh: Walk the House at Tate Modern

An utterly mesmerising exhibition by Do Ho Suh. Walk the House at Tate Modern is a major survey of the work of the Seoul-born, London-based artist, age 63. An invitation is extended to visitors to wander translucent, prismatic thresholds and corridors, passages fashioned in Suh’s trademark fabric material, some of them life-size replicas of his own homes.

There’s a reason, of course, Suh is so fascinated with recreating homes. There is a quiet, constant questioning to these temporary, lightweight structures, told partly through the nature of the materials themselves. What does it truly mean to have a home, and what does it mean to belong? How does architecture find expression for those feelings, or become a barrier to them?

With the words ‘islands of strangers’ echoing in the public realm across the UK, these questions couldn’t be more poignant, nor more urgent. Suh’s brilliant, immersive works allow for genuine joy as well as contemplation at a time of crisis. This is the most comprehensive exhibition of his work for three decades, and also includes new site-specific works. You have until October to see it.

Viewing Photo London at Somerset House

One of the world’s largest and most significant photography events, Photo London reaches a milestone ten years this year, as it returns to Somerset House for four days of exhibitions, talks, book signings and special events. Founded in 2015 by Michael Benson and Fariba Farshad, Photo London aims to educate and stimulate collectors of art by bringing the bleeding edge of the medium to the capital every year.

This celebratory tenth edition – led by director and The Wick Monday Muse Sophie Parker – includes more than 130 exhibitors from around the world, shown across the main sector, as well as Discovery (for emerging galleries) and an expanded new sector Positions, curated by Maria Sukkar, a book market, new for this edition.

There are also ten special partner exhibitions, as well as a major public group exhibition London Lives, in the cavernous Embankment Galleries, bringing together thirty major photographers who have shaped the city – or been shaped by it (Hannah Starkey, Mary McCartney, and David Bailey among them.) There are talks by the likes of Don McCullin and Dennis Morris, a screening of Joel Meyerowitz’s new film, and don’t forget to book a slot at Miles Alridge’s on-site portrait studio, too. Say cheese!
