The Chelsea Flower Show might be the world’s most famous flower show, but my own personal favourite flower show is undoubledly the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show which runs from the 6th to the 11th of July this year.

The magnificent setting of Hampton Court Palace is a sumptuous backdrop for the world’s largest (and in my view friendliest) annual flower show. Packed with ideas on how to grow your own, nurture the environment and to make the most of your garden, the show combines quality, innovation and creativity, featuring spectacular show gardens and horticultural exhibitors.

At the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show this year you’ll discover many show gardens that will excite the senses. Of particular interest given their current plight will be the Copella Bee Garden designed by Sadie May Stowell which celebrates the British bee while raising awareness of its population decline.

Hampton Court advanced booking rates are still available here.
