2010 Hampton Court Palace Flower Show
The world’s largest annual gardening
show is renowned for providing a taste of the good life, with more “grow your own”
inspiration than any other UK event and an abundance of green initiatives and topical
features. In recent years it has gained a reputation for providing some of the world’s
best conceptual gardens.
This year the 21st Hampton Court Palace Flower Show will look unlike any other,
with a new layout. For the first time the Floral Marquee will be on the North side
of the showground as a dramatic 225m long feature with over 90 stunning displays.
On the South side of the canal the popular grow your own theme will be even bigger,
with a major, Home Grown feature. The Gardens Illustrated marquee is another new
highlight where plant and gardening accessories will be combined in gorgeous displays.
Hampton Court Palace Flower Show offers over 600 shopping opportunities, ideas for
growing in small spaces or large gardens, features bursting with fruit and vegetables,
a Cookery Theatre and traditional, modern and contemporary ideas. For 2010 a Shakespearean
theme will provide entertaining, and quintessentially British, gardens.
The show is also a popular destination to enjoy and purchase hundreds of varieties
of the nation’s favourite flower in the Festival of Roses, which is also the launch
pad for the Rose of the Year.
Finally, the vast setting of the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show, which encircles
the Long Water canal, has the Palace as its backdrop, and is surrounded by acres
of park land, makes it the perfect place to escape and find everything you need
to make the best of your life outdoors.
