He said: “I love being able to spread the word about growing and arranging beautiful seasonal British blooms and I can’t wait to see everyone at the show.
We’d love for you to have a look around the site and tell us what you think. You can sign up to our newsletter or follow us on Facebook.
“I would like to demystify the art of arranging flowers whilst promoting the proven benefits to health and wellbeing that flowers and plants bring.
“It’s also important to encourage people to get creative with home grown flowers and foliage, giving them the confidence to try things out for themselves and this upcoming event is going to be a fantastic opportunity to do just that.”
A firm favourite with garden enthusiasts and families, Belvoir Castle’s event is set in the stunning gardens of the stately home – the parkland of which was designed by eminent 18th century landscape designer Capability Brown.
Top garden designers will also be taking part in the Flower and Garden Show.
They will be showing off their creativity and talent with Show Borders and Belvoir Castle’s head gardener Andy Tudbury, who looks after the castle’s stunning gardens.
Andy said: “The Flower and Garden Show at Belvoir Castle is a highlight of the year for me – it’s so lovely watching our visitors learn even more about the horticultural world and leave the event feeling inspired and full of wonderful ideas to try in their own garden.”
For even more insight, guided tours round Belvoir’s stunning Capability Brown parkland will be available, taking visitors to areas usually off limits to the public, including the estate’s own vineyard.
Belvoir Castle’s own eateries will also be serving food and drink throughout the event, including Belvoir Bistro, Belvoir Farm Shop and the Aviary Café.
A selection of delicious dishes will be on offer as well as homemade cakes, afternoon teas and snacks, all enjoyed beneath the backdrop of the Regency Castle.
