RHS Tatton Show

Tomorrow sees the start of the five day long RHS Show at Tatton Park near Knutsford. Tatton is renowned as the biggest and best horticultural show in the North, with the country’s brightest gardener designers showing of their talents. Amongst the planned show gardens this year are Tony Heyward’s abstract jewelled landscape inspired by the British coastline and Tony Smith’s intriguingly titled Aliens & Lettuce. Gardens designed by Huggo Bugg, Will Quarmby and Olivia Stewart will determine the first RHS Young Designer of the Year award.


Aside from the show gardens Tatton will host the prestigious Eurofleurs competition, where twelve of Europe’s best young florists will compete for the award, good luck to Britain’s competitor Joe Massie. Long with more than 200 exhibitors to keep shoppers happy, Fortnum and Mason will be on hand at the show to provide high class refreshments. If you can’t make it to the show BBC 2 will be covering the highlights from Tatton on Thursday at 7.30pm and Friday at 8pm.
