  • In May 2008, media around the globe reported a story titled “Beatlemania Comes to the Chelsea Flower Show with George Harrison-themed Garden.” Widely regarded as the ultimate horticultural event worldwide, the show offered visitors an impressive array of gardening products, exhibits, and fantasies. Codesigned by his widow, Olivia, the Harrison garden was meant to evoke both the spirit of the 1960s and the personal philosophy of one of its most famous pop musicians, who himself had been a keen amateur gardener.
