PREPARATIONS are under way for this year’s Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Hyde Hall Flower Show, a four-day floral extravaganza set in the beautiful surroundings of the Society’s Essex garden.

The show, which runs from Thursday, August 4 to Sunday, August 7, will feature 60 specialist nurseries with floral displays, garden trade stands, plus tasty food and live music.

The show is open from 10am to 5pm each day.

RHS members will also be able to take advantage of a Flower Show Breakfast package on the Thursday and Friday, which enables them to beat the crowds and benefit from a full English breakfast, a guided garden tour, and earlybird entry to the show for £22.50 per person (booking essential on 020 3176 5830).
