“It is a celebration of all things gardening and plants in the wonderful surroundings of Blenheim Palace,” said show manager Mig Kimpton at the time.
Packed with flowers, plants and everything for your home and garden, the three-day event included flower displays, show gardens, expert advice, food and drink, shopping, live entertainment, plus some famous faces.
Officially opened by BBC plantswoman Carol Klein, the show gave visitors the chance to ask the horticultural expert for advice and tips during Q&A sessions in the Gardening Talks Theatre.
“Carol is a plant guru and we’re delighted to welcome her to this year’s show,” said Mr Kimpton.

The flower show is set within the Oxfordshire UNESCO World Heritage Site’s Capability Brown landscaped parkland and boasts formal gardens created over the centuries by esteemed garden designers such as Henry Wise and Achille Duchene.
The Grand Floral Pavilion formed the centrepiece of the show and featured the UK’s finest nurseries and growers, giving expert advice and gardening ideas, all competing to win the coveted Best in Show award.
Outside the pavilion was the brand new orchid tunnel, showcasing almost 1,000 exotic orchids from all over the world and a collection of tropical plants.

“It’s taken us three days to create the tunnel and will be a stunning addition to this year’s event.”
