RHS London Flower Shows: New year, new look!
7 October 2008
The RHS London Flower Shows are undergoing some exciting new developments, and from 2009 there will be a whole new look to these seasonal spectacles.
The London shows, which will retain their status as being a gardener’s paradise in the heart of the city, will be reduced in number from seven to four bigger, stronger shows a year. Each show will celebrate the diversity of plants and flowers of the seasons, and will also have an emphasis on the issues that face gardeners in their everyday life - from gardening with wildlife, to gardening in an urban environment.
The shows will be held in February, March, April and October.
