Flower & Garden Show

Flower arranging & plant cultivation competition

As keen medal-winning competitors at the world-famous annual Chelsea Flower Show in the UK, the Barbados Horticultural Society takes its flower arranging and plant cultivation seriously.

So their annual Flower & Garden Show, which is brimming with tropical blooms that range from cacti to bonsai, is well worth a visit.

Either side of their flagship event, they run a programme of Open Gardens in sumptuous private homes, where you can usually linger on the lawn while enjoying some tea and cake.
