Applications for exhibits in the Floral Marquees and Plant Villages at RHS Flower Shows

RHS Floral Marquees offer nurseries the chance to sell to visitors and gain coveted RHS medals for spectacular displays. We encourage Specialist Societies, Associations, Colleges and other organisations with a strong horticultural message to exhibit.

Plant Villages offer a farmers’ market-style layout and provide the perfect opportunity to display and sell plants.

Grow Your Own seeks nurseries specialising in growing edible plants, or companies bringing edible produce into people’s homes.

House Plant Studios are buildings dressed to promote the benefits of indoor plants and provide inspiration for visitors’ own indoor spaces.

Floristry and Floral Design are important features at many RHS Shows. RHS Chelsea Flower Show and RHS Flower Show Wentworth Woodhouse offer the opportunity to compete at the highest level in an art form that is centuries old.
