Family fun

  • There’s something for every family member at the Show and lots of space for the little ones to run around. There’s even a special Secret Garden Trail for the kids (and their grown-ups) to follow.

  • Kids try their hands at garden design with the School Plots. Every year there is a theme for local schools to interpret in their own creative way. The beds are assessed by RHS judges and given their very own awards. A real show highlight.
