ith a stellar guest lineup, two nights of music and tens of thousands of flowers and plants, RHS Malvern Spring Festival celebrates its 35th anniversary this year in style.
Making a welcome return to the festival after last appearing in 2018, gardening national treasure Alan Titchmarsh will be joined by a stellar horticultural line up including Gardeners’ World stars Carol Klein and Joe Swift, alongside RHS Malvern show ambassador Chris Beardshaw, plantswoman and author Sarah Raven and celebrity florist, writer and broadcaster, Jonathan Moseley. BBC Radio 2’s resident gardening guru, Terry Walton, will also make a comeback, as well as former Blue Peter gardener, Lee Connelly better known as the Skinny Jean Gardener. As part of its anniversary celebrations and new for 2020, the Malvern Hills will be alive with the sound of music, with two spectacular evenings of performances. On Friday, May 8th, the 54-piece English Symphony Orchestra led by Lesley Garrett will perform a special VE Day commemorative concert. On Saturday, May 9th, Jo Whiley will host her very own Garden Party as she plays music throughout the decades, chosen by the show’s special guests. Set at the foot of the Malvern Hills and with headline sponsorship from boutique travel company Great Little Breaks, the four-day festival runs from May 7 to 10. It will play host to inspirational RHS Gold Medal winning show gardens, top quality specialist plant and floral exhibitors in the beautiful Floral Marquee and expert advice from some of the UK’s top gardening and food heroes.
