Did you know that The Hampton Court Garden Festival is the largest flower show in the world?
Run by the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society), people flock from all over the world to see the beautiful exhibitions of gardens and flower displays by experts entering the competition to secure their Gold, Silver or Bronze awards.
We were fortunate to visit this years’ welcome return of this marvellous event situated in front of the iconic Hampton Court Palace, and enjoy the sights, smells and (lots of) shopping!
Here is a selection of our favourite sights.
As always, Gardeners’ World BBC presenters are seen throughout the show mingling with the crowds, giving interviews from their favourite gardens, and talks on the main stage.
