London flower show to honor Harrison

LONDON, May 11 (UPI) -- The Chelsea Flower Show in London is set to honor the Beatles' George Harrison with a special garden, show officials say.

Garden designer Yvonne Innes said Harrison -- who died of cancer at 58 in 2001 -- was "an amazing landscape gardener," The Sunday Times of London reported.

"I also realized few people knew this side of him and decided to design a narrative garden of his life and passing over to the next life," she said.

Innes worked with Harrison's widow, Olivia, to design the flower show garden.

One section of the garden will be dedicated to Harrison's time with the Beatles, while another follows his life in the 1960s, the newspaper said. Two other segments at the show, which runs from May 18 to May 25, reflect Harrison's spiritual life and later years.
