RHS Master Grower

Nurseries up and down the country do stellar jobs each year breeding and producing plants for us to enjoy in our gardens. Here at the RHS, we celebrate the hard work of nurseries and growers at our flower shows through our Master Grower scheme.

The RHS Master Grower highlights those that we think have gone above and beyond their call of duty, with five leading nurseries being featured at our flower shows throughout the season. 

You’ll find the Master Grower with a showstopping display in the shows' Marquees – or if you're at Chelsea, look out for all five in the Great Pavilion. You can discover the story behind the nursery, ask questions and discover their techniques for success.

We’ll be revealing tips and tricks from our Master Growers online soon, but for now take a look at who we’ve selected as our chosen five in 2019.
