Hampton Court Palace Flower Show, 5th - 10th July

Visit Us and our Live Bees at the RHS Edible Garden at the Hampton Court Palace Flower Show presents a fantastic range of beautiful plants - a feast for the eyes and the stomach!

This stunning centrepiece is the largest in the show at 1,850 sq metres (19913 sq ft). It showcases the very best in Grow Your Own , with every element of the feature having an end use, mainly edible.

Designed by award-winning designers, Jon Wheatley and Anita Foy, the crops include those traditionally grown in this country, some recent introductions and some that are not currently commonly grown but that may be grown here in the future.

There is also a ‘food for free’ area, with plants that can be foraged from the wild. The focus is on artisan, rather than commercial, production and demonstrations.

Features include: Hops and barley for beer making, a live willow arch, fruit and nut orchard with live bees, a cider orchard, an ornamental edible garden, a lavender field with olives trees, opposite a vineyard before entering a tropical zone.
