About

Experience the RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival 2025, the world's largest flower show, taking place from July 1 to 6 in the historic grounds of Hampton Court Palace, Surrey. This premier summer gardening event offers an inspiring blend of horticultural excellence, environmental awareness, and family-friendly entertainment, making it a must-visit for garden lovers, plant enthusiasts, and outdoor lifestyle fans. Visitors can explore a stunning collection of Show Gardens, including the RHS Healer’s Hollow, which celebrates the therapeutic power of plants, and RHS Vertigro, an impressive 4.8-meter-tall vertical garden promoting urban greening solutions. The Subaru Cocoon Garden brings attention to the UK’s endangered temperate rainforests through sustainable design and native plant choices, offering a powerful message about biodiversity and conservation. The Gardens of Curiosity category sparks imagination and dialogue with thought-provoking installations such as A Garden of Two Tales, A Woodland Edge, Illusion 2050, and Aster of Senses. These innovative gardens challenge traditional design boundaries and invite visitors to engage with themes of climate, community, and sensory connection. Beyond the gardens, the festival hosts a vibrant Floral Marquee filled with seasonal inspiration, the fragrant Festival of Roses, and a bustling Houseplant Market ideal for urban dwellers and interior plant stylists. Food and drink options are abundant, including elegant Fortnum & Mason picnics by the Long Water and street food from around the world. Families are warmly welcomed in the Go Wild Family Area, where children can enjoy interactive nature activities and a Wombles-themed trail featuring charming dried flower sculptures of the classic eco-characters. Educational, engaging, and endlessly fun, it’s a highlight for young visitors. With over 140,000 attendees expected, the RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival 2025 promises an unforgettable day out, packed with inspiration, discovery, and the very best of British horticulture. Make it your essential summer garden show destination.
