With a brand-new theme around gardening for change, RHS Malvern Spring Festival is back at Malvern's Three Counties Showground for 2024, with a host of gardening, growing and feasting inspiration.

Showcasing the country’s best-known expert horticulturalists and TV gardening personalities — and crowning the first RHS award-winning gardens of the year — the event will reveal the latest horticultural trends, plus plenty of tips to transform your green space, making for a feast of floral inspiration. 

The theme for 2024’s festival celebrates evolution in the world of horticulture, embracing the positive impact it has on the environment, people and wellbeing.

Introducing a new wave of green-fingered individuals, the festival will dish out practical, resilient gardening techniques to cope with the changing climate as well as insights into planting for the future.

There'll be interactive demonstrations, thematic zones and immersive feature gardens, along with a tips and tricks area with upcycling and cost-saving tips from the experts.

The RHS Floral Marquee, alongside the Plant Village and Pavilions, all return with advice from expert growers and the chance to buy choice plants and rare gems to fill gardens and homes — with show gardens providing inspiration from leading and emerging horticultural talents.

The Festival Theatre is bursting with a stellar line-up of expert horticulturalists and TV gardening personalities including Alan Titchmarsh; whilst the new Kitchen Garden hosts delicious demonstrations from some of the country’s most talented chefs, too. 

There's also plenty of family fun for all ages in the Discovery Zone, with arts and crafts sessions, science-based activities, workshops and entertainment to inspire the youngest generation of nature lovers.
