Hampton Court Flower Show 2009

The world's most vibrant flower show welcomes you with colour and fragrance. The idyllic setting of Henry VIII's favourite palace is transformed for six sumptuous summer days.

 

Hampton Court Palace Flower Show has a whole new look this year. Regular visitors to the show will notice a major change to the layout, as the four floral marquees are revamped to create one large space allowing more nurseries to attend the show, and giving visitors the chance to take home an even wider range of plants and flowers.

2008 was the last year of the Daily Mail Pavilion, and in 2009 the heart of the showground is being filled by the major new Gardening Energy feature, designed by RHS Gold Medal winning designer, Sarah Eberle.

Visitors are also able to enjoy two new categories of gardens: The Gardens of the Six Wives of Henry VIII celebrate the 500-year anniversary of the English monarch’s accession to the throne, with gardens representing each of his famous wives; Sustainability Gardens, which aim to inspire visitors who are looking for ways to be more green.
