Yes, it’s bigger than Chelsea – the annual Southport Flower Show is in its 78th year and is the UK’s largest independent flower show. This year the organisers wanted to highlight the horticultural arts.

Working in collaboration with Southport Flower Show, A Foundation in Liverpool has invited artist Lisa Cheung to develop Summer Palace, a sculpture and outdoor furniture installation that will be on display at the flower show, before being shown at Greenland Street arts centre in Liverpool throughout the autumn 2007.
