RHS Sandringham Flower Show to feature a garden designed in collaboration with His Majesty The King
The new RHS Sandringham Flower Show, to be held at Sandringham Estate in July, will feature a garden designed by Catherine MacDonald in collaboration with His Majesty The King
The RHS Royal Legacy Garden will be designed by award winning garden designer, Catherine MacDonald of Landform Consultants Ltd, who, in consultation with His Majesty, will create a garden that celebrates his passion for horticulture and provides gardening inspiration to Show visitors and gardeners across the UK.
The design currently being developed will feature a bold colour scheme including many of His Majesty’s favourite plants. Built by Gadd Brothers Trees & Landscapes, it will utilise local Norfolk materials and champion horticultural and rural skills to create a garden that provides a welcome place to rest and contemplate, while supporting and promoting biodiversity. After the show, the garden will have a legacy at Sandringham Estate, where the formal gardens are open to the public to enjoy (March–October).
RHS Sandringham is the first RHS Show to be hosted at a royal residence and will also include two new awards chosen by Their Majesties The King and Queen. The King will personally select his favourite exhibit for
The Floral Marquee, the heart of any RHS Show, will be packed with over 50 expert growers and nurseries, and local communities and charities will be celebrated through a variety of gardens and special exhibits. RHS Sandringham will also feature summer staples in the fruit and vegetable competition, floristry displays and a host of talks and demonstrations from top names in gardening and horticulture.
