Show Gardens

The RHS judged Show Gardens, located at the heart of RHS Malvern Spring Festival are one of the most popular features with visitors. They showcase everything from award-winning planting ideas to the latest design trends.

RHS Malvern Spring Festival welcomes designers of all abilities and encourages creative freedom in garden design by giving an open brief. This means the gardens come in many shapes or forms and are based on different themes – classical, contemporary or conceptual. This results in a varied and eye-catching range of stunning gardens each year at the prestigious RHS event in Malvern.

The Festival would like to thank Malvern Garden Buildings who provide buildings for some of the Show Gardens. Visit them on their stand (415) or read more here.

Awards

Along with RHS Gold, Silver-Gilt and Bronze Medals, there are three other prestigious awards that are presented to Show Garden designers at RHS Malvern Spring Festival. These are the Best Show Garden and the Best Construction Award.

Visitors can also vote for their favourite Show Gardens at the show and those with the most public votes will receive the coveted RHS People’s Choice Award for their category. Online voting will open at 9am on Thursday 9 May 2024 and will close 9am Monday 13th May 2024 so you can vote while you’re at the Festival, or when you get home.
