Silver celebrations at Malvern Spring Show

The RHS Malvern Spring Gardening Show celebrates its 25th anniversary this year and will be celebrating silver in style when it opens to the public on 6th May 2010. It now ranks in Britain’s top five big flower shows and organisers are preparing to celebrate more than two decades of gardening innovation and excellence.

Malvern’s success over the years can be attributed in part to its constantly evolving content and a commitment to embrace the future in every respect. Visitors to this year’s spring show will enjoy a special Birthday Exhibition, which chronicles the show’s history in stories, characters and photographs.

How will our gardens look in 25 or even 500 years from now? Students from primary and secondary schools and colleges in and around the region will be trying to predict the answer in the form of school gardens with a futuristic theme.

Garden designers James Steed, Alex Bell and Claire Potter will be coming together for the very first time in 2010 to create a beautiful anniversary garden which will remain in place until July.

Visitors will be able to enjoy 17 show gardens ranging from a disused Welsh railway crossing to an outdoor Quaker meeting room.

The Show, which runs from Thursday 6th May to Sunday 9th May, is held at The Three Counties Showground, Malvern. Shrops.
