There will also be show gardens designed by Ian McBain, Humble-bee Gardeners, Marc Harbourne-Bessant, Yun Sunmi & Lu Wenjuan, and John Howlett, a television director and a recent graduate of the London College of Garden Design.
New to this year’s Malvern Spring Festival will be its first Indoor Plant Gardens that will be judged by the Royal Horticultural Society.
The gardens, which are part of the returning Festival of Houseplants, will focus on the benefits of plants and how to incorporate them where outdoor space is not available.
Forest Interior’s Megan Warren-Davis and Outdoor Living Gardens’ John Tallis will be highlighting the rising levels of anxiety and depression amongst teenagers through a green, cyberpunk-style bedroom in ‘Neo Flora’.
Welsh nursery Dibleys Nurseries is using eco grow lighting and self-watering containers in a space that will show how a plain room can be transformed through houseplants, and London-based Emma Angold is showcasing more sustainable ways to decorate a wedding in ‘Nice Day for a Green Wedding’.
There will also be an Amazon Rainforest themed indoor plant garden by Jessy Edgar of Sprouts of Bristol and Ferne Glannan-MacRae of Ferne Creative, an indoor oasis by Johnathan Balchandani (aka TheBeardedPlantaholic) and Mohammed Bhula (aka The Botanical Archive) and ‘A Reflection of Nature’ by GrowTropicals, The Jungle Haven’s Claire Lowrie and Worcester Terrarium’s Ben Newell.
Contemporary 3D-printed planters created using a plant derived material will be used in Botanical Interior Design’s modern retreat, and Reading-based Midrib Plants is demonstrating the history of houseplants in the home.
‘Plants and People’ is the theme for the RHS Malvern Spring Festival 2025, taking place from 8-11 May at the Three Counties Showground.
