Award-winning show’s sensational return to Stoneleigh in 2012

Award-winning grow-your-own spectacular The Edible Garden Show makes a sensational return to Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire, on March 16-18 after its phenomenally successful debut in spring 2011.

Scheduled for the beginning of the growing season, the inaugural show proved such a hit with gardeners and grow-your-own enthusiasts across the UK, that more than 15,800 members of the public voted The Edible Garden Show UK’s Most Popular Garden Event of the Year in the annual Horticultural Channel Awards – ahead of established fixtures such as The RHS Chelsea Flower Show and Gardeners World Live.

Uniquely bringing together key experts and innovative exhibitors from the worlds of gardening, home produce and food in a one-stop-shop for those wanting a slice of the ‘Good Life’, The Edible Garden Show is a must-see show for the whole family.

There will be advice in spades from celebrity gardeners, chefs, growers and livestock experts. From bees, chickens, goats and pigs to seeds, sheds, wellies and wormeries – there is something for everyone. The 2012 show will boast an additional exhibition hall, larger animal marquee and food areas with a wide range of gardening and cookery demonstrations and interactive displays.

BBC TV’s award-winning presenter James Wong is on a mission to tempt gardeners into becoming more adventurous by growing ‘exotic edibles’. The renowned gardener and botanist, who will be giving daily talks, says grow your own doesn’t have to be all about spuds and sprouts. James, who writes an exclusive monthly column with gardening tips and recipes for the show’s popular website, urges gardeners to explore the vast range of exotic fruit and vegetables that can germinate and flourish in the UK climate.

Broadcaster and writer Pippa Greenwood, celebrity chef Rachel Green and The Edible Garden Show’s own ‘Grow Your Own’ guru Paul Peacock will all be on hand to give invaluable tips and advice.
