For those who don't know much about the flower show, it brings together the world of horticulture along with regional food and craft. You can expect to go away from the show full of ideas and inspiration for your garden as well as information on how to get involved in gardening and gardening projects. There are talks and demonstrations that allow you to learn new skills or perhaps just get advice.
The two floral marquees are where the large cut flower displays are as well as stands that sell the plants you see on display.
The bonsai trees were there last year, the one in the middle of the upper row dates from 1910, which is incredible.
Really wish I had taken note of the name of this one, it's so pretty!
As well as large floral displays there were also displays from florists that showcased flowers in unusual ways. Despite my utter hatred of dragonflies I really liked this one.
As well as the marquee displays there is plenty to see in the show ground.

Love love love this! They had a smaller fountain for sale but we don't have the room in our garden for it. |
Really impressed with this display which shows a before and after garden. Look how neat the right side is! |
I like the idea of using tree trunks in this way but this would scare me if I looked out of my window and saw it. |
All in all we had a good morning at the show, we came away with our hands full of plants and plenty of ideas of how to make our garden look good. The show is open tomorrow (Saturday) and Sunday, it's something I'd recommend for all ages whether you have a large or small garden or even no garden - there are plenty of indoor planting ideas.
I think that plant is called a bleeding heart.... That could possibly be layman's terms, but that's what I've always known it as. Maybe that helps?
