This new two-day garden festival, held on November 12-13 at RHS Halls, Westminster, curated by CityScapes, is dedicated to urban gardening and the exciting possibilities on hand for those of us with little or no green space.

There will be a wide selection of plants suited to different city situations, with a special emphasis on houseplants, that are enjoying a renaissance with specialist shops such as Grace & Thorn, Prick and RoCo, all of whom will have a presence at the Show.

As well as a range of talks there will be a series of workshops, which are bookable, include crafting macrame holders, making kokedama and building a terrarium as well as, from the Electric Daisy Flower Farm, all you need to create a fabulous floral crown or piece of botanical jewellery.

A preview party will be held on the Friday evening and as well as DJs, there will be botanical cocktails, artisan beer and vegan food vendors serving culinary treats.
