RHS Tatton Park Flower Show

Enjoy the colourful spectacle of the RHS Tatton Park Flower Show which opens its gates this week in Cheshire. You'll find tons of inspiration, from specialist nurseries showing off the latest new plants to spectacular show gardens packed with good ideas.

This year the Back to Back Gardens return, a must-see for small garden owners for their innovative designs and space-saving ideas. The much-loved National Flower Bed Competition is packed with colour and fun (and an eye-opening insight into just what's possible with versatile summer bedding): and Blooming Beds features displays based on the adventures of plant hunters around the world.

If kitchen gardening is your thing, head for the Edible School Gardens where the next generation of green-fingered talent take an often unusual approach to growing; get in on the action at the 'Have a Go' Allotment Plot; and find the shed of your dreams at the Garden Hideaways feature.

Then once you're home again, bring your notebook full of must-have plants and great ideas back to your garden centre  so they can help you turn your own garden into a real show-stopper!

The Tatton Park Flower Show runs from 22nd - 26th July: for further details and tickets visit www.rhs.org.uk/tatton.
