The Malvern Spring Festival - it's the first big RHS outing of the year, we go along to get soaked in Spring... literally!
Malvern has made a name for itself as a showcase for emerging talent in the Show Gardens, Festival Gardens & School Gardens. Launched in 2014 and aimed at novice gardeners, the Festival Gardens are already building an enviable reputation for innovation. Set off to great effect by the natural backdrop of the Malvern Hills, this is the seasons first big show and always pulls in the crowds.

This years Spring Festival was a resounding success. Over 90,000 people flooded through the gates and a record number of RHS Gold medals were awarded at the four day event.
The rain and wind was not going to stop us enjoying this wonderful show. Our day was full of fun and it was interesting to explore the many private nurseries and show gardens. Arts and Crafts were also represented and the quality of the exhibitors was top notch!
We decided to make a weekend of our trip. We travelled up from the Isle on Friday the 8th and stayed the night before the show in Tewksbury. After our horti-cultural experience at Malvern, we drove up to visit our friends Cate and George in Oxfordshire.
10 out of 10!
