Gardening as art goes on show at famous UK festival

LONDON - From the world's hottest chili to a garden inspired by music, Britons are celebrating their love for gardening this week at the Chelsea Flower Show, one of the world's biggest horticultural festivals.

With the champagne already flowing at the week-long show where more than 165,000 visitors are expected, Queen Elizabeth II herself toured some of the hundreds of exhibitors on Monday.

And the Royal Horticultural Society denied rumors that Brexit was throwing a spanner in the works by putting off some of the festival's sponsors.
