Hampton Court Palace Flower Show 7-12 July 2009

I'm really excited, I have booked tickets to Hampton Court Palace Flower Show in July! If it is going to be anywhere near as good as Chelsea, I'm sure to have a good time.

From the website:
"In 2009 the heart of the showground is being filled by the major new Gardening Energy feature, designed by RHS Gold Medal winning designer, Sarah Eberle.

Visitors are also able to enjoy two new categories of gardens: The Gardens of the Six Wives of Henry VIII celebrate the 500-year anniversary of the English monarch’s accession to the throne, with gardens representing each of his famous wives; Sustainability Gardens, which aim to inspire visitors who are looking for ways to be more green.

Garden your way to a healthier lifestyle

Grow your own, gardening in a changing climate, healthy living and making the most of your life outdoors are just some of the main attractions at this year’s show.

Bring the taste of the good life into your home with the extensive Growing Tastes feature. This takes you from plot to plate with 14 grow your own exhibits displaying giant garlic bulbs, herbs from around the world and a variety of English as well as exotic fruit and vegetables. Cookoo Box Nursery’s Munch Your Way Through Lunch no-waste display proves that you can even produce a meal from deadheading! The central feature is a family allotment, which is bound to fuel the nation’s appetite for grow your own."

Lots of photos to come - watch this space!
