Talks by gardening experts such as Graham A Pavey, Clare Allen -who was nominated for the Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Florist of the Year 2010 -and Barry Timms will be hosting talks across the event.

There will also be floral displays dedicated to roses and bonsai respectively.

Specialist food producers will be displaying their wares. For example handmade farmhouse cheese, jams and chutneys, strawberries and cream and unusual tea and coffee will be available.

An exhibitor from last year's show said: "Thank you for a lovely setting. We've done well and appreciate the good organisation."

Other exhibits showcase antiques, bags, garden furniture and tools that can be stored in a garden shed.

Visitors can also explore the grounds of Wrest Park which has 18th century gardens with features such as a bath house and Chinese bridge.
