The Newt in Somerset brings history to life
This Spring 2024, The Newt in Somerset will bring a glimpse of the Roman Empire to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. In its third year as official headline sponsor, The Newt in Somerset's team of architects and horticulturists have recreated a colonnaded courtyard garden inspired by the remains of those found in ancient Pompeii and the wider Naples region circa 78 CE. This peristyle colonnaded garden will be one of the most authentic reconstructions of a Roman garden ever created and the first of its type to appear at Chelsea in the show's 111-year history.
