RHS Badminton Flower Show

Strap in for this recap as we follow Gardeners’ World 2026 episode 17’s flying visit of the first ever RHS Badminton Flower Show. We check out the movers & shakers, the growers & showers, and marvel at cuttings in glass bottles, despite the hot-flushes.

And in our CCCUP we hear that Greg Anderton from Leafy Lytham won Best Plant Village Exhibit, and Dan Stearne from Dan’s Plants won yet ANOTHER gold for his display. As if that’s not enough for one week, Dan’s also made it onto the front cover of The Sunday Times Home – with an article telling the story of his journey, from growing sweet peas with Grandma for teachers at the end of school term, to winning multiple RHS Gold Medals. Big congrats to both Greg and Dan!🥂

Next Time on Gardeners’ World – THURSDAY 16th July

After the scorching heat of early summer, Monty is working to keep the garden looking its best through the season’s challenges. He tackles essential jobs, including cutting back perennials to make room for more colour, tending long grass and pruning step-over apples, while proving there’s still time to sow vegetables for delicious late-summer harvests. Best of all, he enjoys some of summer’s greatest rewards – lifting the first new potatoes and gathering fragrant sweet peas for the house.

Adam Frost discovers a remarkable 2.5-acre walled garden in Surrey packed with hidden gems and unexpected delights. Sue Kent demonstrates how imagination and resourcefulness can transform everyday items into beautiful and productive growing spaces, while in Cornwall, there’s a fruit and vegetable professor whose lifelong fascination with pests and diseases is helping gardeners grow healthier crops. Plus a visit to a grower with a striking collection of crassulas, showcasing the extraordinary beauty and diversity of these popular succulents.
