You don’t need to be a Chelsea Flower Show judge to know the horticulture is topnotch, but RHS Rosemoor is way more than just Rose Gardens and Long Borders. Their 65 acres hold much for families seeking a day out, from play areas and sculpture exhibitions, to light trails and excellent eateries.

The RHS calendar is full of fun all year-round, from the stunning RHS Glow light trail in winter to the annual summer Flower Show, the  Vintage Weekend for classic cars and lindyhop and the Festival of Flavours in autumn. You can shop quality plants and gifts, and eat their harvest in The Garden Restaurant’s seasonal menu which is filled with fresh pickings from their abundant greenhouses and kitchen gardens. You can even exchange vows here, in a choice of seven romantic venues, each licensed to hold wedding ceremonies. Or how about a really unusual sleepover? Take your pick of three apartments located in the original Lady Anne Palmer house, giving you free range around the gardens from sunrise to sunset.

Kids won’t be bored thanks to two dedicated play areas with slides, sandpit, bug magnifiers and climbing features. Don’t miss The Copse where they can make ‘beautiful’ music on the spiro-giro pipe! Paths are buggy-friendly too. Or if it’s the older generation you’re taking, there are trampers for hire.

Check out the many membership benefits, and go get your garden top-up asap. Its just 15 minutes from Devon’s Atlantic Highway.
