THIS year’s Malvern Autumn Show kicks off next week and promises a feast of fine foods, demonstrations and styles of gardening to suit every taste.

The Royal Horticultural Society Flower Show will cover more than 5,000 square metres and house thousands of blooms from the country’s finest nurseries.

For green-fingered amateurs, meanwhile, the Harvest Pavilion promises a host of displays including classes for carnations, fuchsias and mammoth vegetables.

Famous faces from television will be on hand to impart their particular expertise to the thousands of visitors the show expects this year.

They include gardener Chris Beardshaw, top Italian chef Gennaro Contaldo, the new lead presenter of BBC Two’s gardener’s World Tony Buckland and Peter Osborne who will demonstrate “From Plot to Pot” cooking from six special edible gardens.

This demonstrations embrace the current trend for people growing their own food and should offer easy sensible advice on getting started yourself.

Other attractions drawing the crowds on the last weekend in September will be the Bayer Garden Roadshow, an apple, pear and fruit juice show as well as national plant societies and pottery workshops for children.

Native livestock, vintage tractors and a medieval encampment will be sure to give plenty of photo opportunities for weekend visitors.

The Malvern Autumn Show takes place Saturday and Sunday, September 27-28 at the Three Counties Showground.
