been commissioned by RHS Malvern. She will be sharing her
encyclopedic knowledge of herbs and their myriad of uses with
visitors whilst immersed in her beautiful scented garden.
Joining Joe Swift in the new Plant Finder Parlour in the floral
marquee is Matt Biggs, who has created a unique one-man show
specifically for RHS Malvern. He’s adopting the persona of great
plant finders of the past, George Forrest and local man, Ernest
Wilson on the Thursday and Friday of the show.
Celebrity florist, Jonathan Moseley is holding workshops over the
four days celebrating British Flower Growers. Visitors are invited
to have a go at creating their own floral masterpieces and to
marvel at Jonathan’s magnificent Floral Fountain that is the same
height and width of the average two bedroom house!
Chelsea designers Jon Wheatley, James Alexander-Sinclair and Jo
Thompson will be sharing their award winning design knowledge
with show garden tours and design tips that can be applied to
any garden. Jon Wheatley is also heading up the Grow Zone
