Tickets have officially been released for the National Amateur Gardening Show, taking place on 12-13 July at the South of England Showground at Ardingly in Sussex, starting from just £12.50!

The National Amateur Gardening Show (or NAGS for short) is created in conjunction with Amateur Gardening magazine – the UK’s oldest gardening magazine and the only magazine to win a gold medal at The Chelsea Flower show. The magazine has been giving trusted and practical advice to gardeners for over 140 years. The last event took place back in 2008.

“We are so excited to be bringing the National Amateur Gardening Show back to life,” said Amateur Gardening’s Editor, Kim Stoddart. “It is often requested and mentioned by our readers and we can’t wait for it to happen, and to meet as many of you wonderful people as possible. Come along and say hello!”
