We love: early spring at the RHS London Show

Posted:21 February 2013

Early spring is a wonderful time to visit the RHS London Shows held in the RHS Horticultural Halls at Greycoat Street and Vincent Square. They are always a real treat, with beautifully considered displays, books, garden paraphernalia, plus of course specialist nurseries often selling rare, unusual or hard to get hold of plants and bulbs.

Several stands were bulging with spring bulbs – all looked stunning with many new cultivars on display.  We also loved the hellebore displays.

Pennard Plants were selling heritage and heirloom seeds – some with fantastical names, such as a lettuce named Fringe-Headed Drunken Woman it will be interesting to see how that turns out!  A sweet pea name Mumsie also took our fancy.

Being plantaholics we enjoyed a great day out and reminded ourselves not to leave it too long before another visit.  The next spring show will be the RHS London Orchid & Botanical Art Show, 12-13 April 2013. To buy tickets in advance, CLICK HERE
