RHS Malvern Spring Festival
11 May 2023 – 14 May 2023 –
Floral Marquee
The 2024 Festival will celebrate over 60 carefully selected, exemplary exhibitors that all hope to be awarded a converted RHS Medal in the ginormous 190m long Floral Marquee (see below for exhibitor list). Filled with stunning displays of spring bulbs, tactile foliage and all manner of every day and unusual plants and flowers, it is a true feast for the eyes.
There are opportunities to buy choice plants and rare gems directly from these expert nurseries to fill your garden and home. The nursery owners are also on hand throughout the show to answer questions, provide advice and share with visitors their floral passion.
The Floral Marquee will also be home to the Plant Societies and the Potting Shed Theatre. The sessions in the Theatre will provide the perfect opportunity to ask questions and gain specialist gardening knowledge. Find out more here.
Along with RHS Gold, Silver-Gilt, Silver, and Bronze Medals, there are two other RHS awards that horticultural exhibitors at RHS Malvern Spring Festival hope to win. These are:
- The Lyn Downes Award for the Best in the Floral Marquee
- Best National Plant Societies Exhibit
