The UK’s largest family-run group, British Garden Centres, is thrilled to annual its return to BBC Gardeners’ World Live for the fourth consecutive year as the Live Theatre sponsor. The event, an annual staple in the gardeners' calendar, takes place at the Birmingham NEC from June 12th to 15th, and promises a fun celebration of all things horticulture, innovative garden design, and expert advice.

Renowned for its Show Gardens, Beautiful Borders, Floral Marquee, and Plant Village, BBC Gardeners’ World Live is a must-visit event. British Garden Centres is proudly sponsoring the BBC Gardeners’ World Live Theatre. Enjoy inspiring talks from top gardening experts, hosted by BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine editors and Nicki Chapman, in a pre-booked seat. The line-up includes Monty Don, Adam Frost, Nick Bailey, Frances Tophill, Sue Bailey, and Rachel de Thame, making the Theatre a must-visit for gardening enthusiasts seeking ideas or answers.

This year, the British Garden Centres team will be joined by Michael Perry, AKA Mr Plant Geek, and garden designer Pip Probert.  Fresh from a Gold Medal win at Harrogate Spring Flower Show, British Garden Centres will once again be providing plants for Pip’s garden at the show.

The Show Gardens, APL Avenue and Beautiful Borders aim to inspire amateur gardeners with ideas that are both achievable and aspirational and can be taken away to try out at home. Visitors can expect a variety of styles and budgets, making it easy to find inspiration to 'get the look' from the show.
British Garden Centres will also have a stand next door to the main stage showcasing plants, sundries and garden furniture with special show promotions and offers, making it a one-stop shop for all green-thumbed visitors.

Your ticket offers more than just Gardeners World Live—it includes entry to the BBC Good Food Show Summer, where you can enjoy live entertainment, cooking demos by top chefs, hands-on workshops, and tastings.

James Ducker, Events Manager at British Garden Centres, said: “We are thrilled to be extending our support to BBC Gardeners' World Live for the third year in a row. As proud Theatre sponsors, we will be located next to the Live Theatre. With a host of engaging sessions and expert speakers, it promises to be an informative and entertaining experience for all attendees. We look forward to being a part of this wonderful event, showcasing our plants and garden offerings and contributing towards the growth of the gardening community.”
