GWL 2017 What our visitors say.. It is the best gardening event of the year. A fantastic day with such a wide variety of gardening ideas. A real eye opener to the variety of flowers and plants it has given me more confidence to widen what I plant and where to plant in my own garden which is my main aim to be more creative and confident when gardening. Innovative, exciting, enthralling, sociable and a must see. The ultimate place to see anything and everything gardening related. Attended a couple of garden shows already this year and this was the one that I feel I'm most likely to return to in future years. Well laid out, easy to travel through site. Well done Gardeners World. It is a show that every gardener must not miss.
