I wonder why the RHS doesn't hold a regular annual show in the SW. I
think the nearest to us is in Cardiff. But for some reason, I can't get
onto their site to check that, atm. They did a sort of one-off at one
of the hotels in Torquay about 5 years ago but nothing since that I'm
aware of. You'd think with Rosemoor down here there'd be some
incentive, along with a big tourism industry, too.
According to their website the RHS runs dozens of events and plant
fairs in the SW of England.
Scotland of course does not have a tourist industry nor gardeners, thus
no RHS show
The RHS ran shows in Scotland for three years running in the 90's.
