Mil Hurley recently checked this must-see flower show off her bucket list. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show first took place May 1913 on the grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, hosted by the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). The event has been held at the same 11-acre site ever since, becoming one of the most renowned flower shows globally. The centerpiece of the Chelsea Show is the Great Pavilion covering 2.9 acres of exquisite floral exhibits. Mil will give us her firsthand experience with visuals of the RHS Chelsea gardens, which represent the pinnacle of horticultural excellence with showstopping designs, innovative materials, and glorious blooms.

She has a degree in theater from St. Mary-in-the-Woods College, which was evident while she was host of the popular Pointes of Horticulture cable TV show.
