Belvoir Castle Flower and Garden Show 2021

Returning for the fourth consecutive year, this two-day event takes place in the stunning grounds of Belvoir Castle over two days in July. The British Association of Landscape Industries will be taking a 6m x 3m pitch outside, amongst the stunning gardens, to promote the services of its Accredited members to the public.

Our first garden at Belvoir Castle

The British Association of Landscape Industries and its careers initiative, GoLandscape, have joined forces with Oakham Garden Services to create a spectacular ‘Bring your holiday home’ themed garden at Belvoir Castle Flower Show, Grantham, 17-18 July 2021.

This will be the first time that the Association has created a garden at Belvoir Castle Flower and Garden Show and the 2021 garden theme will be a nod to the increased number of ‘staycations’ due to take place this summer. The Association will also be promoting careers in the industry through its GoLandscape initiative, continuing its work addressing the industry skills gap. Education Officer Stephen Ensell will be there to chat to career changers, school leavers, parents and teachers about the benefits of a career in the horticulture and landscape sector.

The design of the garden will showcase what is possible to achieve in a restricted space with a focus on encouraging nature, in particular bees and butterflies. With the availability of materials posing a challenge to the construction industry, the design has also emphasised simplicity and the upmost effort has been made to source UK-based products.

Chris Howkins, Oakham Garden Services Company Director said:

We are increasingly asked by customers to provide a little bit of holiday joy at home to remind them of happier times spent abroad. This has been a great opportunity for us as designers to let our creative juices flow to reflect that theme and to produce a unique eco-friendly outdoor space.

More information about the Show

The weekend will feature appearances from various well-known specialists and experts on the main stage, along with some glorious floral demonstrations by Jonathan Moseley. The team are also pleased to welcome back TV personality David Domoney who will be appearing again on Sunday, 18th July. In addition, award-winning growers from around the UK and locally will provide guests with the chance to purchase some truly special gardening treasures. There will also be a selection of garden furniture, sculptures and tools to tempt you.

Inspiration may be gained from the beautiful show gardens and borders, which will once again be battling it out to win the coveted Duchess of Rutland Trophy. If you need a moment to relax you can do so to the sounds of local artists on the live music stage, while treating yourself to some of the delicacies and refreshments on offer.
