 We are excited to be growing plants for this year's new RHS Sandringham show in July. Katie's Garden plants will be in The RHS Pollywiggle Garden designed by Norfolk-based designers Joe and Laura Carey.
This RHS Feature garden is naturalistic and wildlife-friendly, inspired by the local landscape to celebrate the “pollywiggle,” (a Norfolk word meaning tadpole) and other froggy friends, to encourage all of us to do more to support this crucial wildlife in our own gardens whatever the space, style and spend available. www.rhs.org.uk/shows-events/rhs-sandringham-flower-show/gardens/2026/rhs-pollywiggle-garden

 We have been sowing and growing for several months now so it's exciting to see the design concept for the Addelshaw Goddard : Flourish in the City garden designed by Joe and Laura Carey. The design is inspired by London’s status as the first National Park City.  Katie's Garden is teaming up with Joe and Laura Carey again for their entry to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show next year. Planting up began at the nursery several weeks ago with these spring-flowering bulbs. We will also be sowing to grow from seed and potting on a selection of specially chosen perennials. You can find out a little more about the Addleshaw Goddard: Flourish in the City garden on the official RHS Chelsea page - click here.  It's a Gold Medal for the Alan Partridge Sound Bath Garden, featuring plants by Katie's Garden Plant Centre!
Congratulations to Alan and his 'ghost' designers, Carey Garden Design Studio. See photos of the show garden and read all about it here: www.rhs.org.uk/shows-events/rhs-hampton-court-palace-garden-festival/gardens/2025/alan-partridge-sound-bath-garden The garden will be at Hampton Court Palace until 7th July, when it will then be relocated to Pensthorpe Nature Reserve in Norfolk.

 Just a fortnight till the start of the RHS Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival and the plants we have grown for the Alan Partridge Sound Bath Garden are now on there way there! We have again grown for Carey Garden Design Studio, who are 'ghost' designers for Alan Partridge! Plants by us include Amaranthus Hot Biscuits, Cosmos Cupcakes White, Foeniculum vulgare (common fennel) and white Verbascum (mullein).
The secret's out: Norfolk's premier radio disc jockey, Alan Partridge (played by actor and comedian Steve Coogan), is having a garden at this year's Hampton Court Palace Garden Festival, and we are growing many of the plants for it!
The Alan Partridge Sound Bath Garden has been designed by Laura and Joe Carey and will be in place at the show 1st-6th July before heading off to Pensthorpe Nature Reserve in in Norfolk.
