rhs flower show
tatton park 2015
(22 – 26 july)
From 22 to 26 July the Royal Horticultural
Society’s (RHS) Flower Show Tatton Park
will return to Cheshire’s spectacular
1,000-acre deer park. Innovative and
inspiring gardens will combine with edible
exhibits, fantastic displays, and a variety
of shopping opportunities to ensure the
perfect summer day out.
Three zoned areas will unite to form the
show this year, Grow, Inspire and Feast,
highlights of which will include:
In Grow, the ever popular Back to Back
Gardens will make a long-awaited return
with clever designs ideal for small spaces.
Alongside these will be the brand new
Blooming Beds, featuring beautiful
displays based on the adventures of
plant hunters, as well as the much-loved
RHS National Flower Bed Competition,
bursting with colour and fun. Grow also
encourages gardeners of all levels to enjoy
the horticultural haven of the Plant Village
and the RHS Floral Marquee, which will
once again include the top growers and
finest plants in the country, all the while
enjoying the Show Gardens on offer.
Inspire acts as a fitting platform for the
RHS Young Designer of the Year 2015,
in which three young designers will be
building their first Show Garden. Here,
too, will be a variety of high-quality
floristry, gardening and talks in the
Floral Design Studio. The RHS Hub also
features the much-loved Cheshire Gardens
of Distinction, while the World Skills
Landscaping Competition demonstrates
the art of landscaping at its roots. The
Inspire zone will also debut the Year of
Light Garden, where the International
Year of Light will be celebrated with an
assortment of conceptual designs.
