RHS Flower Show Tatton Park

THIS YEAR, RHS FLOWER SHOW TATTON PARK IS GOING GREEN. Focusing on innovative planting, sustainable solutions and ideas, and inspiration for your own outdoor spaces, it’s the perfect summer day out for garden-lovers.

Make time for a spot of shopping by visiting the Country Living Pavilion, which will be full of artisan wares and unique crafted gifts, and the Floral Marquee and Plant Village, where you’ll find top-quality plants. Delicious dining options, including street food stalls, plus live music and entertainment, will all add to the enjoyment.

Explore an array of gardens based on planetfriendly planting. Discover the latest horticultural trends in the RHS Young Designer competition, and see the winning gardens from the RHS and BBC Radio Regions Competition, which celebrates the wonderful heart and soul of the north-west.

View master florists at work in the Flower School, while experts are on hand in the Practical Gardening area to offer advice and ideas on projects big and small. Plus, you can watch cookery demos and pick up recipe inspiration from top chefs in the Taste of Tatton theatre.

Finally, get your hands dirty in the brand-new Homestead, an area dedicated to green-fingered activities for all ages, from willow weaving to creating herbal tea blends. Allotment owners and veg growers will delight at Earth’s Riches, where you can find out about the weird and wonderful world of soil, sustainability and composting.
