As one of the UK’s leading horticultural events, the RHS Malvern Spring Festival returns in May 2024, promising an immersive garden experience that blends tradition with contemporary gardening trends. This annual event, hosted in the scenic grounds of the Three Counties Showground in Worcestershire, continues to be a must-visit for gardening enthusiasts, offering a blend of floral displays, garden design innovations, and educational talks. Malvern is a staple on our events calendar and we are excited to be exhibiting once again!

Garden Displays

The 2024 festival will showcase a stunning array of Show Gardens, each offering unique interpretations of landscaping artistry. Renowned designers will be bringing their visionary concepts to life, using a mix of traditional and modern gardening techniques to explore themes of sustainability, mental well-being, and climate resilience. Visitors can expect to see a diverse range of gardens, from small urban spaces to expansive country-style landscapes.

Floral Marquee

A highlight of the festival, the Floral Marquee will house an extensive collection of nurseries displaying their finest blooms. This year, the focus will be on biodiversity and native plant species, aiming to educate gardeners on planting to support local wildlife and ecosystems. The marquee will be a riot of colours and scents, featuring everything from exotic orchids to classic roses, and providing endless inspiration for attendees’ own gardens.

The RHS Malvern Spring Festival is not just about admiring beauty; it’s also an educational hub where novices and experts alike can gain valuable gardening knowledge. The 2024 edition will include a series of workshops and demonstrations led by experts in areas such as pruning, vegetable gardening, and floral design. These sessions are designed to provide practical advice that gardeners can take home and implement.

Food and Drink

Celebrating the best of British agriculture, the festival will also feature a Food and Drink Pavilion where local producers showcase their artisanal products. From gourmet cheeses and handmade chocolates to craft beers and organic wines, there’s something to satisfy every palate. Cooking demonstrations from top chefs will be part of the agenda, focusing on seasonal and sustainable cooking.
