RHS Tatton Park Flower Show

[Lesley Jay]

Now in it's 10th year the Tatton Park Flower Show, set in the beautiful parkland, commences on Wednesday. This year there are over 50 vibrant Show Gardens and Back To Back Gardens. The National Flower Bed Competition has 20 local authorities planting up a colourful flower bed with seasonal bedding plants while in the Floral Marquee two live floristry competitions are taking place. Schools across Cheshire are entering the Quirky Container Competition with one school planting up an old PC and another has planted up an old tractor. A great show not to be missed!
