Back to show & events home page..... Hampton Court Palace Flower Show
Visitors will be able to spy on 'Adam and Eve' inside a lushly - planted garden surrounded by a wall of peep holes in 'The Danger of Need'‚ an exciting garden designed by Wayne Richards (one of five gardens in the new Conceptual Gardens category.) Trevor Tooth has taken the theme of love and relationships a step further with a show garden 'Love, Life & Regeneration', inspired by his one-year old son. Groundforce presenter Tommy Walsh has designed a small garden 'Senses Stimulated‚' - with plants known for their aphrodisiac qualities while providing a haven for couples to rekindle romance. 'The Perfumed Garden'‚ is Fran Forster's design in honour of Jean Patou, the famous Parisian couturier and creator of Jean Patou fragrances. Romantics will be seduced by the heady aroma of Britain's largest annual gathering of roses in full bloom inside the Festival of Roses marquee. There are around 18 major show gardens, five new Conceptual Gardens‚ and around 20 small gardens. There are also the fabulous water gardens (unique to Hampton Court) as well as the large Marquees. The RHS Window Box and hanging basket competition is always a favourite and the show gardens within the Daily Mail Pavilion with inspiration for this year's theme coming from the rolling South Downs, gardens and chalk streams of Hampshire.
