Floral marquee
Celebrating over 50 exemplary nurseries, all hoping to be awarded a converted RHS Medal, the 190m long Floral Marquee is filled with stunning displays of spring bulbs, tactile foliage, rare plants and traditional favourites.
Indulge a passion for flowers with the nursery owners on hand throughout the show to answer questions and provide advice.
The Floral Marquee will also be home to the new-for-2023 Potting Shed Theatre, where visitors can ask questions and gain specialist gardening knowledge.
With more than 50 award-winning, specialist nurseries from all over the UK bringing spectacular displays, the Floral Marquee is a hotspot for flower lovers, and as many of the nurseries that exhibit are not open to the public, it's a rare chance to buy direct.
List of exhibitors
RHS Master Grower
Each year, the RHS selects a leading nursery to feature in the RHS Master Grower scheme, which acknowledges and awards recognition to specialist nurseries that use sound, skilful production methods to cultivate plants for their display and sale. These nurseries are often involved in developing new cultivars and in using specialist traditional and modern horticultural techniques.
RHS Malvern Spring Festival’s 2023 Master Grower is Hillview Hardy Plants, near Worfield in Shropshire. This family-run nursery specialises in
Primula auricula as well as cottage garden plants that are suitable for dry soils and attractive to pollinators. They also hold four National Plant collections:
Acanthus, Albuca, Primula auricula (alpine) and
Primula auricula bred by Richard Austin. All their plants are grown on site, many from their own stock plants.
