The show wants to encourage more people to ‘Grow Together’, giving visitors of all ages and ability the chance to learn, ask questions and get involved with hands-on activities. Visitors have the chance to learn new skills from a variety of talks and demonstrations and a visit to the RHS Potting Bench. Young budding gardeners can explore the Show by taking part in a variety of exciting children’s activities. All gardeners will also love the quirky wheelbarrow displays which are created by over 60 local schools, helping them to not only have fun, but to learn about plants and the environment around them. This year the show falls within Half Term and as children under the age of 16 go free it makes for a fun and great value family day out. Landscape & Urban Design 11
