No, the ellipsis is not used appropriately in this sentence. An ellipsis is typically used to indicate a pause, omission, or continuation of a thought. In this sentence, the ellipsis does not serve any of these purposes and appears to be incorrectly placed. It would be more appropriate to simply say: "At the Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show in London, participants create complex themed gardens and elaborate flower sculptures."
