Red Button

Andy Sturgeon, having won four gold medals for his own show gardens at Chelsea, was perfectly placed to present coverage of the 2009 show gardens. The show gardens are the highlight of Chelsea, and in-depth tours of each and every one was available behind the Red Button, with detailed commentary from the designers themselves. A different selection of gardens was broadcast each day and it is still possible to watch them online.

Meanwhile, Carol Klein and Chris Beardshaw explored the Great Pavilion. A treasure trove of plants, the Pavilion is the spectacular centrepiece of the show. Carol and Chris were joined daily by a range of horticultural experts, who shared their knowledge and the highlights of this year's displays. These walkabouts are also available to watch now.

Full coverage began on Tuesday 19 May. The service was available from midday to midnight, Tuesday 19 May to Friday 22 May 2009.

This service was available to all digital viewers. (Digital viewers include anyone with Freeview, satellite or cable TV). To access the service you needed to tune to BBC One, Two, Three or Four, and press the red button on your digital remote. A menu appeared with Chelsea on it – you needed to scroll down and select it. Red Button coverage is free to watch.
