RHS Malvern Spring Festival

Floral Tablescaping

This new RHS judged category invites floral designers, stylists and creatives to style the interior of a garden shed, including benches and a dining table, to create a captivating tablescape where blooms take centre stage

A Feast of Flowers

A space for dining, with flowers, foliage and botanicals as the heroes of the designs. Designers can use both fresh and dried plant materials to tell a story, evoke a mood and create a memorable experience for guests.

A Quintessentially English Afternoon Tea

Emily Rodriguez-Martin

How many possibilities do florals offer beyond the vase? This space, both nostalgic and modern, reimagines the charm of an English garden afternoon tea through natural artistry. A statement of sustainable luxury and timeless British elegance, it celebrates craftsmanship and the simple beauty of nature.

Victorian Woodland Tablescape

Kate Hurst​, sposored by Vintage Florrie

Old jam jars, vintage crates and tin cans filled with flowers create an enchanting woodland scene bursting into life. The green of foliage is emphasised by a mix of saturated colours, echoing a rich carpet of spring bulbs that brings a snippet of wild magic to the table.

At the Threshold: The Garden Comes to the Table

Ashley Edwards

This very personal design captures the quiet excitement of spring leaning into summer and invites visitors to notice nature at its fullest potential. Living bulbs and cut flowers are linked by winding raffia-covered wires that echo a root system, tracing the transition from garden to home.

Demelza Leng​

Inspired by traditional restaurants and their daily specials, this immersive exhibit approaches floristry through the lens of food culture. Each arrangement highlights locally grown stems and invites us to consider flowers as ingredients harvested and served at their peak.

Wind In The Willows Riverside Retreat

Poppy Cottrell and Margaret Fox

Seasonal flowers and foliage grown in Britain represent the characters of The Wind in the Willows in this warm, cosy retreat. Predominantly in earthy tones, it reflects the countryside where the book is set, using salvaged and recycled props to enhance the storytelling.
