Malvern RHS Spring Festival

RHS Malvern Spring Festival

Thursday 8th to Sunday 11th May 2025

 

Set against the magnificent Malvern Hills, our spring festival is packed with flowers, food, crafts and family fun at Three Counties Showground, Malvern. With eight Show Gardens, eight Indoor Plant Gardens, Feature Gardens and School Gardens to explore, there’s a wealth of beautiful gardens to inspire you at RHS Malvern this year.

 

The theme for this year’s RHS Malvern Spring Festival is ‘Plants & People’, encouraging visitors to explore the numerous ways in which plants impact our lives – from the positive impact they have on our physical and mental wellbeing, to improving the air we breathe and providing food for us to eat. This year’s RHS Malvern Spring Festival theme celebrates the notion that tending to plants is as much about nurturing ourselves and our communities as it is about caring for our planet, celebrating a renewed appreciation for the power of nature and its positive impact in our lives.

 

RHS Malvern Spring Festival has a long-standing reputation as the trailblazer of the RHS Floral Show season, leading the way in the latest gardening developments. New for 2025, the new Indoor Plant Gardens – located in the Festival of Houseplants area – will be scrutinised by a panel of horticultural experts and RHS judges to crown the very first RHS medal-winning Indoor Plant Garden 2025.

The pioneering Indoor Plant Gardens will showcase creative ways of using indoor plants and the impact they can have on our daily lives. The gardens will also demonstrate how versatile and easily accessible indoor plants are, and how they’re an enjoyable and convenient way to engage in horticulture year-round, regardless of whether or not you have outdoor space, and without being subject to the ever-growing challenges posed by the climate.

 

The brand-new Give it a Grow theatre will debut at this year’s RHS Malvern Spring Festival, offering practical advice, inspirational talks and expert tips on plant growing. This vibrant new stage will host engaging talks to enhance gardening knowledge for both seasoned gardeners and those dipping their toe into the soil for the first time. From perfecting propagation techniques to creating serene rain gardens and ponds, how to design natural screens for garden privacy to improving soil health with the use of vital microbes – this bustling area will act as an educational hub, inspiring visitors to grow more, grow smarter and grow better.

 

All this plus the crowning of the very first RHS-medal-winning outdoor show gardens of the year, expert horticulturalists and popular TV gardeners sharing their tops tips (including Alan Titchmarsh CBE), live cooking demos from some of the UK’s best chefs, and a whole host of shopping opportunities, food and drink, and family friendly activities to enjoy.
