April Event

by Sue Woodhouse | Feb 14, 2024 | events, News, Welcome

Thursday 18th April 10:00 am – RHS Urban Show, Mayfield Depot, Manchester

For our April Event, we are proposing a visit to an exciting new-style RHS Flower Show, which will be very different to the RHS’s regular Flower Shows. Members may remember that LGT held a visit to the neighbouring Mayfield Park in March 2023, which is Manchester’s first new park in over 100 years. Now, the RHS plans to transform the Park’s neighbouring historic former railway station, Depot Mayfield, from an industrial, indoor location to create an urban grower’s paradise full of small space gardening ideas to provide inspiration and encouragement for those who live in towns and cities with limited or no outdoor growing space.

Whilst urban growing will be at the heart of the show, the influence horticulture has on interior design, art, wellness and sustainability will also be explored. There will be innovative gardening features with design inspiration for small city spaces, such as vertical gardening and urban farming along with immersive plant installations, a host of talks, advice and practical workshops and a carefully curated selection of plant nurseries selling a huge variety of houseplants and small space friendly plants. 

Further information can be seen on the RHS website
