RHS April London Flower Show
3-4 April 2007

Theme: Wildlife gardening

The April London Flower Show filled both the Lawrance and the Lindley Halls. While the Lindley Hall contained the usual glorious exhibits of floral displays form some of the countries leading exhibitors, the Lindley Hall was filled with a daffodil competition, ornamental plant competition and an impressive display of plants and photographs in the Alpine Garden Society competition.

The show contained almost everything of interest in the garden at the moment - from daffodils to palm trees. The standard of the exhibits was so good that the judges awarded seven Gold Medals. This show was one not to be missed as it provided a clear indication that the gardening year is now in full swing, and it could not help to inspire and impress any visitor to the show.
