IF your blooms aren't blossoming or your clematis isn't climbing, help is at hand as the annual Spring Gardening Show comes to Malvern next week.

Visitors to the 20th annual show, which runs from Friday, May 13, to Sunday, May 15, at the Three Counties Showground, are being invited to put Britain's top gardening brains to the test at the event's interactive design theatre.

Organisers are asking people to send in interesting questions for celebrity gardener Alan Titchmarsh, who will be there on Friday.

Television gardener Chris Beardshaw, who will also be at the show on Sunday, will be running a Plant Doctor session at 2pm.

The new theatre is hosted by James Alexander Sinclair - of Channel Four's Great Garden Challenge - and BBC Gardeners' World presenter Joe Swift.

Both will be on hand to offer top tips on creating a glorious garden and give information on the many innovative and time-saving garden gadgets available.

Other show attractions include an eclectic collection of 15 inspirational gardens, a 1.6-acre Royal Horticultural Society Marquee with floral displays, and stalls selling crafts, food and wine.

Opening times are 9am to 6pm and tickets are £12.50 to £15 on the day, with free entry for children aged five to 15 years old.

Anyone who wants to ask Alan Titchmarsh a question should sent them to: Nina Acton, Marketing Manager, Three Counties Showground, Malvern, Worcestershire, WR13 6NW.
