- About
A flower show that prides itself on a well-earned reputation for being one of the country’s best.
It attracts trade exhibitors from far and near and they compete with each other to mount the finest displays. Result – more colour and surprises than you could possibly imagine.
Competitions, too, that produce the most innovative designs and ideas. And the show theatre which mounts a daily programme of talks and demonstrations.
All this and free entry! Truly, a great show.
