Working with Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust and Rotherham Council we’ll be able to reach out to local communities, schools, designers, nurseries and all the stakeholders that the RHS collaborates with and we’re excited about the opportunities these new partnerships will offer.
“As with all RHS events we plan meticulously, including working closely with Wentworth Woodhouse Preservation Trust, Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, local statutory groups, the emergency services and public consultations so that we can deliver a world-class horticultural show that is sensitive to its environment and its communities.
"We hope the show will inspire and welcome more people than ever to experience the joy and benefits of gardening.”
Helen Flower, events manager at Wentworth Woodhouse, said: “We are thrilled to be partnering with the RHS and to be able to include a flower show in our 2025 events programme. The gardens here at Wentworth Woodhouse are a special place and this show will not only allow new visitors to enjoy them, but will also give our local community the opportunity to engage with something exciting and new.”
