Flower Power

If a bunch of flowers can bring a smile to your face, then imagine how you’ll react to seeing 250,000 beautiful blooms at Hampton Court Palace Flower Show (3-9 Jul). The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), which is behind the event, has been hosting flower shows since 1820. The director of RHS Shows, Nick Mattingley, says: ‘At more than twice the size of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show [in May] and just a stone’s throw from London, Hampton Court Palace Flower Show is the best place for budding and expert gardeners who want advice, ideas, inspiration and an abundance of plants and gardening merchandise to beautify their outdoor spaces.’
