We look forward to welcoming you to our annual celebration of all things horticultural in Cornwall. Whether you are interested in its rich garden heritage and subtropical climate or wish to learn about sustainable gardening and adapting to climate change, the wisdom of experience will combine with inspiring new ideas to stimulate the seasoned horticulturist and encourage the enthusiastic gardener. 

This year’s show will explore the theme of Regeneration, with immersive show gardens, specialist growers, talks and demonstrations designed to inspire gardeners to nurture landscapes, wildlife and wellbeing.

At the heart of the show will be a series of thoughtfully designed show gardens created by leading Cornish designers and growers. Each will interpret regeneration in a different way, from ecological restoration and sustainable planting to the restorative power of gardens for people.

A special collaboration between gardeners from The Lost Gardens of Heligan and members of the Cornwall Garden Society will reflect recovery following storm damage, creating a vibrant spring landscape that sparks conversation about gardening in a changing climate.

Returning favourite Kits Nursery will present a planting-led design celebrating spring in Cornwall, blending strong architectural structure with soft, seasonal herbaceous planting. Meanwhile, landscape designers Alford & Sowter will explore how gardens can encourage us to slow down and reconnect, drawing on themes of rest, recovery and mental wellbeing.

Together, the gardens will challenge perceptions of what a garden can be, demonstrating how thoughtful, climate-conscious design can regenerate soil, habitats and communities, while remaining practical and resilient in Cornish conditions.

New for 2026, the Eden Project will curate a Sustainability Hub as part of its 25th anniversary celebrations. Featuring four mini gardens exploring water and soil, energy and sustainable building, crop production and nature connection, the hub, anchored by an inspirational garden created by Eden Project apprentices, will showcase practical ways we can all garden more sustainably for the future, from improving soil health and reducing energy use to recycling materials and embracing low-impact construction.

Beyond the show gardens, visitors can browse a diverse range of specialist nurseries and trade stands offering plants, tools, art and garden features — making the Spring Flower Show a must-visit weekend for gardeners across Cornwall and beyond.
