BRITISH gardening will be celebrated when the Blenheim Palace Flower Show returns for a second year this weekend.

There will be a 25,000 sq ft grand floral marquee, with thousands of plants on sale, along with a wide range of gardening equipment.

BBC2 Gardeners’ World presenter Monty Don will open the show on Friday and is just one of a host of gardening experts giving talks during the event at the Woodstock stately home, which runs until Sunday.

The show is open daily from 10am to 5pm. Ticket prices start from £12.50 for adults and £6.50 for children.
