The annual Hampton Court Palace Flower Show is a spectacle not to be missed.

With Food and drink, live music performances and a whole lot more, this really is a great day out for all ages.
After such a fantastic reception at Grand Designs Live and The Elite London, we were ecstatic to also exhibit our luxurious LAGO Lodge at the RHS Hampton Court Palace Flower Show, which ran from 5th – 10th July.
The Hampton Court Flower Show is the world’s biggest annual flower show. Covering both sides of the Long Water at Hampton Court Palace, attendees can enjoy a variety of talks, demonstrations and exhibits in the Show Gardens, Floral Marquee and the Rose Marquee – which we happened to sponsor for the second year running.
Designed in an exclusive collaboration with world-renowned Italian Designers, LAGO, the lodge features a minimalist design that truly gives a relaxed and spacious feel, emphasising a soft palette of pastel tones to enhance its mood of luxury and comfort. It’s really one that can’t be missed!

We were proud to be sponsoring the Show Gardens, Floral Marquee and the Rose Marquee for a second year running at this fantastic event. Visitors were able to spend their day marvelling at the beautiful display of flowers which lined the Long Water of Hampton Court, finding inspiration and attending the many talks, demonstrations and exhibitions in what was an idyllic day out for gardening lovers.
We were over the moon to welcome visitors to our exhibition stand where they could take a look at our newest lodge, the LAGO lodge, which has been designed in collaboration with world-renowned designers LAGO. The design is one that we believe boasts style, space, luxury and comfort, and many of you were able to decide for yourself during the show. For those considering buying a lodge, our advisors were on hand to help you with all you needed to know about lodge ownership and investment and answer any questions you may have had about our lodges.
We were also excited to collaborate with botanical artist, Sarah Jayne Humphrey, who treated visitors to some of her beautiful artwork from our LAGO lodge display. Her immaculate, but soft and romantic, drawings of some fine English roses were a big hit!
Lastly, we took the chance to celebrate 300 years since the landscape architect Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown was born; a man whose designs changed the face of 18th century England. Our very own Fornham Park was once a prominent estate of the Duke of Norfolk and features lakes and landscapes designed by Capability Brown. To mark this occasion we held a number of fantastic talks and events at the flower show, including magical readings with Beatrix Potter and workshops where visitors could learn how to create their own floral displays.
This year’s event had a brilliant line-up of activities for the whole family to enjoy. For those who couldn’t wait for the event itself, there was the Flower Show Preview Evening where you could enjoy live music, fine dining and fireworks, as well as the opportunity to win a number of prizes.
Once the main event was underway, one of the main highlights was taking a stroll through the Butterfly Dome where it felt like you’d been transported to paradise among butterflies from Indonesia and South America. Visitors marveled at their stunning jewel-like colours as they flew around the tropical vegetation.
Anyone feeling inspired by the day and who felt it was time to get their garden up to standard, there was the chance to pop along to the Floral Marquee where you could find floral exhibitors and specialist nurseries displays guaranteed to set your imagination alight. You could then peruse the many stalls with the option to purchase plants and flowers for your own garden. But it didn’t end there; as you walked around the displays, you’ll have found live talks and demonstrations from celebrity gardeners such as Charlie Dimmock, Diarmuid Gavin and more.
For even more inspiration, there were displays from last year’s winners of the nationwide competition, with four enchanting front gardens designed for your viewing pleasure.

Anyone bringing children to the event will have loved The Magic Garden too. Children could run around and meet magical creatures such as the Dragon and find the mythical beast in his lair, explore the many towers and the moat while adults took a break from all the excitement
Families could enjoy Family Saturday, which was packed full of activities such as sowing seeds, story time, children’s cooking classes and a family trail to follow. The activity-filled day was fuelled by Rocket Science, which also happened to be the theme through all of the event’s activities; miss the space themed scarecrows were a particular highlight!
There were a number of educational theatres taking place throughout the event with talks and demonstrations in gardening, cooking and floristry, giving you the chance to meet guest celebrities who were taking part in the event this year.
Lastly, the main focus of the event was, of course, the show gardens and this year there was more on offer than ever before with two brand new categories. The Capability Brown Gardens celebrated the 300th anniversary of the birth of the 18th-century landscape architect Lancelot Brown in what was a spectacular show. Then for something of the opposite spectrum, there was the City Garden and Flower box to find out just what you can achieve with a limited amount of garden space.
There was be plenty of food and drink to try at the event and what better way to enjoy it than with a picnic by the Long Water where visitors were able to relax and plan the next part of their day.
We were very excited to showcase our newest addition to our parks at this year’s event; we are very proud of the design and we’re sure you could why!

We hope you all had a great time and enjoyed meeting our team. We were also proud to be sponsors of the Walled Garden Rose Theatre which was situated in the ‘inspired’ area.
Hampton Court Palace definitely put on a show for both the visitors and the exhibitors as they started the show with a bang with their fabulous fireworks display at the preview evening. Throughout the week there was a lovely atmosphere and everyone was enjoying the weather as they soaked up the sun rays during the hottest week of the year!
