HIRSUTE WELCOME RETURN OF GNOME POWER AT CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW

The Beard Liberation Front, the network of beard wearers that campaigns against beardism, has welcomed the news that the Royal Horticultural Society, the organisers of the Chelsea Flower Show, has again lifted its long running ban on gnomes for 2026.

Gnomes were banned for 100 years to 2013 when they made an appearance before again being vetoed.

In 2026 gnomes, mostly with beards, will be on display again at Chelsea.

BLF Organiser Keith Flett said Gnomes and beards go together. They are often organised and militant and it is excellent news that after a thirteen year gap Gnome Power will be at the Chelsea Flower Show again in 2026
