“I’ve never seen so much wildlife at a show, bees and butterflies that I haven’t seen for ages. They’re all congregating on the gardens. It’s beautiful. It’s as if the gardens are truly alive.”

– Nigel Slater

“There’s more space to move around, people are friendly and it’s a really relaxing show.”

– Cleve West

“Whatever your level of interest in gardening, you’ll find something to interest you here. It’s not stand-offish. It’s demonstrating brilliant things, while being gorgeous. You’ll have a magic day out”
Mark Diacono

“You’re able to step back and breathe, and see the gardens a bit more in isolation, rather than it all being on top of each other.”

– Reece Shearsmith

“The children get so excited about the flowers and the mini beasts. They just love being out here. It’s so lovely to walk through a garden, being close up is what makes it so special.”
Zara, Stillness Infant School

“It’s the space. It’s the backdrop. It’s the nearness of the river. And there’s a sort of gentleness to that.”

– Caroline Quentin (pictured with RHS Director General Claire Matteson)

“I love how the barriers come down, especially with the allotment gardens. There is more of an access point. It reconnects you with people and being amongst nature.”

– Tayshan Hayden-Smith, (pictured with Danny Clarke aka The Black Gardener)

“You get to experience wonderful, wonderful creations by really talented people.”
