Llanidloes gardening club visit RHS Malvern Spring Festival
Members of the Llanidloes and District Gardening Club enjoyed a day out at the RHS Malvern Spring Festival.
The group, who were among the first to attend one of the UK's major flower shows of the season, explored the festival under the sun, despite a chilly start.
The event, set against the backdrop of the Malvern Hills, featured a variety of creative show gardens, highlighting a trend towards naturalised planting.
A bustling floral marquee, filled with blooms in every shade, was a standout attraction.
Visitors had the opportunity to purchase rare and unusual plants, filling their cars for the journey home.
A particular highlight for the Llanidloes visitors was the range of gardens designed by pupils from local primary and secondary schools.
These projects demonstrated a commitment to sustainability and innovation, earning a place among the main exhibits.
The trip was not only enjoyable but also inspirational, providing club members with fresh ideas for their own gardens in Mid Wales.
