Registration opens for National Plant Show
Visitor registration is now open for the National Plant Show, organised by the Horticultural Trades Association (HTA), with the event returning to NAEC Stoneleigh on 17–18 June 2026.
The free-to-attend, two-day exhibition will feature a broad range of plants and gardening products, alongside retail solutions and the latest horticultural innovations. More than 200 exhibitor stands have already been confirmed.
Recognised as a key date in the horticultural calendar, the National Plant Show brings together growers, suppliers, manufacturers and retailers to highlight the strength of UK environmental horticulture.
Elia Johnston, HTA Director of Membership and Marketing, said the show offers a “one-stop destination” for plant production, retail solutions and new developments, with exhibitor numbers exceeding those of 2025.
A major highlight of the event is the New Plant Awards, which celebrate innovative and exciting new plant varieties for the coming season. Entries are judged by an expert panel on the first morning of the show.
Award categories this year include annuals and tender perennials, cacti and succulents, flowering and foliage houseplants, herbaceous perennials, shrubs and trees.
The event also continues its support for local charities, with plants donated by exhibitors and the HTA Village being used in hospice gardens or sold to raise funds.
