RHS plans indoor flower show after ‘gardening boom’ in cities

Chelsea flower show organisers hope Manchester event will reach more would-be gardeners living in small spaces

The UK's first entirely indoor flower show, aimed at people in urban areas with little to no outdoor space, is to be put on by the Royal Horticultural Society next year.

In April, the organisers behind the Chelsea flower show will aim to reach a new generation of gardeners who may have been put off from horticulture by a lack of opportunity.

The RHS Urban Show will be held from 18-21 April 2024 at Depot Mayfield, Manchester.
