“ We ’ re excited about the opportunities these new partnerships in new locations will offer and will be able to get really creative with ideas and content for our visitors . traditional RHS Shows model with more focus on gardening for small spaces and community involvement . RHS Malvern Spring Festival will remain the same .
The changes will enable the RHS to deliver world class horticulture to the doorsteps of members who may not have an RHS Garden near them and creating Shows in fixed venue sites means better sustainability opportunities too .
RHS Director General Clare Matterson said : “ Our RHS Shows are without a doubt the best horticultural events in the world , however we must not and should not stand still . We owe it to the horticultural world , our invaluable RHS members , our visitors and our nation of gardeners to look at how and what we can do to create new content , work with new contributors and find ways to generate interest and inspiration both within our current much loved British events and in new locations with new Shows to work with new populations and people .
“ These are some of the biggest changes we ’ ve made to our Shows in a generation and we ’ re delighted to be extending our reach and making the RHS more accessible and welcoming to more people .
