Located at the North entrance to the Show, the floral RHS Letters are a must-visit destination for a fun photo with family and friends. The design is bold, fresh and distinctively British, filled with traditional fruit and flowers. Rich reds and vibrant lime tones set the scene, including a lively mix of dahlias, carnations and hydrangeas paired with decorative British fruit. Where possible, the plants are seasonal and locally grown, reinforcing the theme of sustainability and further highlighting the importance of considering our carbon footprint. 

At the South entrance of RHS Sandringham, another set of RHS Letters has been painted in a funky, floral-inspired style, highlighting the work of a local artist.

This display is a tribute to Head Gardeners working in gardens across the UK. More than caretakers of beautiful places, they are leaders, problem-solvers, innovators and storytellers. Together, they help preserve the rich heritage of British horticulture while preparing gardens for the challenges and opportunities of the future.

The exhibit pays homage to RHS Partner Gardens from all over the country. As visitors walk through the space, they discover the stories behind their Head Gardeners, who educate and delight millions of people every year combining horticultural expertise with creativity, dedication and ecological awareness. Visitors can learn more about their career journeys, achievements and hopes for the future, and even pick up valuable gardening advice along the way. The goal is to inspire the next generation to follow in their honourable footsteps.

This exciting garden is a living representation of the skill-building, personal growth and special connection to nature that young women experience as they progress through the Girlguiding family – the UK’s largest youth organisation dedicated to girls.

Visitors are taken on an educational journey through the life of a Girl Guide. A bee-friendly wildflower meadow symbolises the Bee Rescuers badge earned by the youngest members, the Rainbows. From there, the path leads to a planting workstation where the Brownies work towards their Grow Your Own badge, followed by an advanced skills section dedicated to the more experienced Guides and Rangers. The journey culminates in a tranquil area nestled among birches, where Guides can play games and sing camp songs. 

The strong connection to nature and conservation is evident in elements like bug houses and bee hotels, all created by Girlguiding members. The planting reflects the Norfolk countryside and incorporates native, drought-tolerant species. At the spiritual and physical heart of the garden is a curved, flowing seating area engraved with the Girlguiding Promise, serving as a gathering point for reflection and community. It embodies communal values for Girlguiding members across all age groups, representing their growth into resilient, compassionate and empowered young people.

The trees we plant today will still be standing long after the climate has changed beyond recognition. This simple truth lies at the heart of this display, which takes its inspiration from the landscape beneath our feet.

Using local Carrstone to create a sand and rock garden, the design embraces the free-draining, drought-tolerant conditions that are becoming increasingly necessary across much of Britain, driven by longer dry spells, unpredictable rainfall and increasingly hot summers. Set against this elemental backdrop, a curated selection of climate-resilient trees grown by Barcham, shrubs from Rymer Trees and Hedging, and other planting demonstrates that planning for a warmer climate need not come at the expense of beauty. As a result, the palette is both botanically considered and genuinely inspiring.

The garden is structured around three main sections: Future Wood, Advice and a Demonstration Area. Each offers insight into the future of trees, alongside best-practice guidance from Barcham’s specialists. As native species come under increasing pressure, this space urges gardeners, designers and the industry as a whole to ask difficult questions about what we choose to plant and why.

Norfolk School of Gardening was founded in 2019 and has become the go to place to learn and be inspired, whether you garden for love or for a living. There are qualifications including the highly rated Diploma in Garden Design and the Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh's Certificate in Practical Horticulture, and there are short courses in everything from weaving your own plant supports to pruning shrubs and roses, from creating a cutting garden to tending a veg patch. Based in an historic garden and arboretum just outside Norwich, the School draws students from all over the regions and much further afield.

The bench planters have been designed by Norfolk garden designer and tutor at the Norfolk School of Gardening, Sam Outing of . Don’t miss his Long Border here at RHS Sandringham. The benches were planted by students and volunteers at the Norfolk School of Gardening.

An exciting and innovative feature coming to the RHS Sandringham Flower Show is The Tree Listening Project, which uses highly sensitive microphones to make the inner workings of trees audible.

Created by , visitors will hear the very life of the tree surging up from the roots towards the leaves. While listening to the headphones hanging from the tree branches you can hear water being pulled up from the roots to the leaves through the xylem tubes. A quiet popping sound is produced by the water passing through the cells of the xylem tubes and cavitating as it mixes with air on its way upwards. The popping is the background to a loud deep rumbling sound that is produced by the tree moving and vibrating. This water movement is what keeps the tree alive by providing the leaves with the necessary water to turn into sugar as a source of food, and as part of the cooling system on a hot sunny day.

The Bringing Nature Home exhibit invites gardeners to enjoy, engage with and enhance their garden habitats for biodiversity. Exploring the most up-to-date sustainable gardening research and advice, interactive displays will encourage visitors to record twelve RHS wildlife wonder plants on a digital map and explore the latest innovations on the award winning RHS Grow app. 

Inspired by a row of terraced houses the exhibit has a central wooden structure, with a homely hallway interior decorated with house plants, books and nature-inspired artwork. Reclaimed windows are suspended from the structure, through which the stunning planting areas are viewed. External planting areas are reminiscent of neighbouring gardens, separate but interconnected by nature.

Interpretation provides evidence-based practical advice on each planting area. By choosing plants suitable for your unique garden, that are both great for wildlife and resilient, will result in a beautiful, healthy garden habitat – helping to truly bring nature home.

Designed by the co-owner and Head Gardener at Natural Surroundings, a loveable RHS Partner Garden in Norfolk, this sustainable space is imagined to be alive with insects. Pollinator-friendly borders are filled with plants grown on the site and chosen for their strong wildlife value at this time of year. 

Key features include bee hotels, log piles and water sources. Obelisks and fencing are constructed from willow and hazel grown at Natural Surroundings and a central circular zone highlights the Head Gardener’s passion for unusual plants, including some uncommon wildflowers. The whole exhibit is a snapshot of the gardens and reserve at Natural Surroundings in high summer and has been created with the help of a local volunteer group, The Thursday Garden Club.

Across the Sandringham Estate grounds, nestled among colourful summer planting, beautiful benches dressed with rich planting combinations celebrate the height of the season. The planters feature blooms such as Scabiosa, Geranium sylvaticum and Festuca glauca ‘Elijah Blue’. Edible-ornamental plants including Salvia nemorosa ‘Ostfriesland’ and Erigeron karvinskianus weave through the scheme, adding lightness and sensory engagement.

These pockets of interest invite visitors to sit and pause, enjoying quiet moments amid the bustle of the show. They are the work of Sam Outing, a Norfolk garden designer and tutor at the Norfolk School of Gardening – founded in 2019 and now a go-to place to learn and be inspired by garden design and practical horticulture. He was supported by the school’s students and volunteers to bring a touch of magic to every corner of the Showground.

Recognising King Charles III’s passion for trees and his long-held wish to see the return of the elm, this multimedia exhibit tells the story of this remarkable species. Created in collaboration with British botanist and arboriculture expert Tony Kirkham, it explores the elm’s cultural significance in mythology, folklore and art, and provides information about its devastating decline due to Dutch elm disease, which has killed millions of trees in the UK over the past 50 years.

Curled around a quiet park, the Elm Lane display celebrates pioneering disease resistant cultivars that offer hope for the elm’s future, as well as saluting the growers and horticulturists who have worked tirelessly to develop them. A circular seating area, complemented by soft planting and curated sculpture, invites contemplation and inspires hope for a future in which elms return to the landscape and help mitigate the effects of climate change.

Usually used for storing holiday gear or as shelter from the sun, beach huts take on a horticultural twist at RHS Sandringham Flower Show. With the Sandringham Estate just a 15-minute drive from the coast, the Sandy Beach Huts, situated by the lake, provide a botanical celebration of seaside living. Painted by Farrow & Ball in beautifully bright colours evoking Norfolk holiday resorts such as Great Yarmouth and Cromer, each of the five huts has a different character and story, from a floral fabric workshop by local company Floral Lifestyle to a vibrant cactus disco. These bright wooden structures have been brought to life with an exciting assortment of planting, including houseplant havens, a romantic cottage garden and, of course, lots of sunny seaside favourites. They’re a fun way to see how plants can thrive in a wide range of environments, while also celebrating Norfolk’s beautiful coast. Take a delightful stroll along the Sandy Beach Huts parade and dream of a peaceful getaway, whether it’s to the beach or perhaps just your garden shed!
