John Mason, garden writer and principal of ACS Distance Education, visited Hampton Court Flower Show, in the grounds of Hampton Court Palace in early July, 2013. 
As always, the show was inspiring, spectacular, and more than what any one person could see in a single day.
Conducted by the Royal Horticultural Society, this show rivals their other big London garden show each year -Chelsea Flower Show.
Hampton Court is different to Chelsea; largely because the exhibitors have a lot more space to use, and the public have far more space to move about. This is a show to not be missed each year, if you happen to be in London early July.
 
Take a look at some of the 2013 show.
