Hampton Court Festival Gardens

I love Kew and visit often. I know its not a flower show, but a show of flowers - and trees.

I lived so close to Hampton Court for years until we moved very recently, I could have walked there from my house, would have taken possibly half an hour, we were always walking in Bushy Park anywayr, just across the road from the palace. ............I'd never been but was very aware of the traffic when it was on!

Yes, probably 15 minutes away from where we lived but the Show wasn't in existence then unfortunately.

How much is the entrance? Daughter said £100- which I find incredible.

RHS members £63.75 and non-members £73.75 I think, Kali2.

We stopped going a couple of years ago - after three years in a row it was all very samey and boring. I used to enjoy seeing the special gardens but by the third and fourth year even the plant suppliers all seemed to be the same.

I used to enjoy the Gardeners World Live at the NEC, perhaps I'll try that again this year instead.

Thanks, DD1 is RHS member and we went to nearby Wisley instead. Perhaps the £100 was for a special event. Still, wow!

I think those high prices are for the Preview Day(s) only? About £25 after that I think….

Yes, much prefer real gardens as they are representative of real gardening, with plants at their best, and then taken over by others- as the seasons come and go.
