One of the show’s highlights is the spectacular Grand Floral Marquee. It’s a treasure trove of quality plants and flowers, trees and shrubs, bonsai, cacti, vegetables and herbs. Visit the Grand Floral Marquee to look, see and smell not only superior quality specimens, but also some of the more unusual plant varieties before you buy and, just importantly, get on the spot advice from the people who actually grew the plants.
The Potting Shed
Located in the Grand Floral Marquee B over the 4 show days. All your gardening questions answered by experts. Floral Art demonstrations. Growing and cooking seasonal produce and meet the growers. Hosted by Martin and Jill Fish.
