Some of Britain’s favourite gardening experts have been signed up as the headline acts at the Southport Flower Show partnered with Everest.
David Domoney, the resident garden guru on ITV’s This Morning, is hosting a celebrity theatre at Southport this year and has put together a star-studded line-up.
Confirmed guests include TV presenter Christine Walkden, who has appeared on BBC’s The One Show and hosted her own BBC show Christine’s Garden.
And broadcaster Carol Klein, who presents Gardeners’ World and has worked on a string of gardening TV shows, will also be sharing her gardening tips with visitors to Southport.
All three experts are to give talks and presentations in the celebrity theatre which will be set up in Southport’s Grand Floral Marquee.
The Southport Flower Show is the UK’s largest independent flower show and runs over four days from Thursday August 17th to Sunday August 20th.
Christine Walkden will appear in the celebrity theatre on Friday while Carol Klein is to feature on Saturday.
This year there is a new addition to the Southport line-up as broadcaster and plant pathologist Pippa Greenwood makes her first appearance at the show.
Pippa, who is a regular on the BBC’s Gardeners’ World and Gardeners’ Question Time will be speaking to guests on Sunday.
David Domoney, who has co-presented ITV’s Love Your Garden since 2012, will meet visitors and pass on his expertise on each of the four days of the show.
Southport will also feature appearances from broadcasters Professor Stefan Buczacki and Matthew Wilson, who have both been regulars on BBC Radio 4’s Gardeners’ Question Time.
David Domoney said: “I am absolutely delighted to be attending Southport Flower Show this year. Southport is such a friendly flower show, full of spectacular show gardens, exhibits, and stunning horticultural displays. Come and see me at the Celebrity Theatre, where I will be presenting with many other friends from the television and gardening industry, giving expert advice and having loads of fun too.”
Southport Flower Show is the UK’s largest independent flower show famous for its fabulous floral displays. The show attracted more than 50,000 visitors last year.
The theme for this year’s show is ‘The Curious Garden’ with organisers aiming to showcase the sense of wonder and discovery that inspires all gardeners as they unravel the mysteries of the natural world.
The Southport Flower Show takes place at Victoria Park, a 34 acre park located on the coastline and a short walk away from Southport town centre.
Further celebrities will be announced for the show in the next few weeks.
