Floral Attractions

The Shrewsbury Flower Show features TV personalities, celebrity chefs, singers and spectacular arena acts entertaining the crowds for 12 hours on each day, ending with a magnificent finale and firework display.

The show is one of the country’s Premier Flower Show events, attracting top exhibitors from all over the country. It has a small permanent staff and over 100 volunteers who manage and organise the whole event, from traffic flow, marquee and services contracts, publicity and marketing, public safety, catering, entertainment, engaging specialist judges for hundreds of competitive classes etc, and ensuring our visitors have an extraordinary experience with value for money.

The Quarry Marquee

Quarry Marquee, the main floral venue, is home to the top national nurseries and growers who create stunning displays to admire and inspire.

Judging of the Quarry Marquee takes place on the eve of the Show, which means all the winners can have on display the awards and trophies they received during the two days of the events.

Show Gardens

Exhibitor	Description
Gardencare CM Building Services	Courtyard Garden: The courtyard garden incorporates soft and hard elements that complement each other beautifully, and the soft planting to the hard ratio is balanced by the soft colour of the stone. The sandstone path leads through a gravel area to a secluded seating area and arbour surrounded by a low contemporary oak sleeper wall that steps down to edge the borders of beautiful cottage garden style planting, with fragrant climbers to encourage pollinators that add movement and life. The Haddonstone water feature and bird bath provides sculptural interest with additional movement and wildlife. Beautiful grasses planted in the gravel soften the whole focus through the garden.
Pippa Willcox & Emma Mayho	The Hobbit House
RJAH Charity	Garden for Alice: Garden for Alice is a fundraising appeal which aims to create a stunning outdoor garden for paediatric patients and their families at The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital. Alice Ward, the dedicated children's unit at the Oswestry based hospital, provides specialist advice, diagnosis and treatment for children between 0-18 years bone, joint and muscular disorders. Funding is needed to enhance the current garden area to ensure it is inclusive for all the children RJAH cares for, while being accessible throughout the day and during the evening. The aim is to provide a private, safe and stimulating environment which not only promotes health and wellbeing but will also offer a calming escape from the hospital environment for long term and returning patients. The beautifully designed garden will see the introduction of many therapeutic features, including a covered canopy, woodland walk, bridge, vegetable patch, hornbeam trail, garden room and moon arches. Each carefully considered design feature provides a wealth of benefits to patients and families, from tranquil spots to observe nature, to rehabilitation zones and secluded weatherproof areas to host outdoor games and learning. We aim to create a realistic representation of one area of the garden design.
CG Landscape & Maintenance	Downtime: The concept behind the garden is to create a calm & relaxing dreamscape for a young professional couple who work very busy corporate jobs. It's for people who want a garden where they can enjoy growing produce and then cooking and dining outside using a pizza oven and their homegrown produce.

The Severn Marquee

Severn Marquee is home to the various societies, amateur growers plus Bees, Honey and Wine exhibitors. Competition is fierce amongst the amateur growers who provide some wonderful displays. Judging took place on Friday morning before the Show opens.
