About the show

April 20-22, 2012

What better way to celebrate the arrival of spring than enjoying the first major RHS show of the 2012 season!

We’re hosting more Show gardens than ever before, packed with ideas, and two Floral marquees brimming with blooms of the highest calibre.

New food options mean there will be something for every palate, and be sure to head over to the Spring Allotment where you’ll find a hub of Grow Your Own advice. And if you run out of steam, try a trip in our new floral rickshaws.

The RHS Show Cardiff has been held in the parklands of Cardiff Castle since 2005, and last year attracted record crowds with more than 20,500 visitors from across the UK. The setting is particularly appropriate for the first outdoor show of the RHS season, as the parklands are hugely significant in horticultural heritage terms.
