The RHS Garden Wisley Flower show returns in September, celebrating its 27th year.

The six-day floral extravaganza will run from Tuesday to Sunday, September 3 to 8.

This year, more than 50 specialist nurseries will be attending, showcasing a horticultural range which will include hydrangeas, agapanthus, lilies, ornamental grasses, palm trees and chilli plants.

More than 20 trade stands will be displaying a range of wares, from gardening tools to solar lighting, and raised garden beds to water fountains.

Visitors can view more than 100 vibrant competition classes of dahlias in all shapes, sizes and colours in the National Dahlia Society Show’s floral marquee.

For those with an interest in floral art, creations by the Surrey area of the National Association of Flower Arrangement Societies (NAFAS) will be on display, with a special anniversary theme, taking a nostalgic look back at the past 10 years. Visitors are invited to get involved by taking their pick in the people’s choice award.

The Glasshouse will also be transformed during the show, with a ‘RHS Garden Mars’ display, featuring a Martian-themed landscape with airplant planets and an astronaut.

During the show, the Glasshouse Gallery will house a photography exhibition by Susan Phelps, capturing the fascinating and often unseen details of nature in the world around us.

Admission to the RHS Garden Wisley Flower Show is free to RHS Members. Normal garden admission applies to non-members.
