We are excited to announce that The National Amateur Gardening Show is being supported by Wakehurst; the Royal Botanical Gardens Kew.
Taking place on 12-13 July at the South of England Showground at Ardingly in Sussex, the National Amateur Gardening Show (or NAGS for short) is sure to be a fun weekend for all the family for a very affordable price, with tickets starting from just £12.50!
The show 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. See what’s on at the National Amateur Gardening Show here.
Located next to the South of England Showground, Wakehurst is Kew’s wild botanic garden in Sussex. It is home to over 500 acres of ornamental gardens, temperate woodland, a nature reserve, and the Millennium Seed Bank – the most biodiverse place on the planet. Wakehurst is beautiful year-round with natural play spaces for children, regular family-friendly events, and a well-stocked gift shop, cafe, and restaurant.
