One of Manchester’s most historic industrial spaces is set to play host to the RHS’s first-ever indoor gardening show next year.

Manchester‘s former railway station will be filled with small-space gardening inspiration to “encourage and inspire” city residents to grow plants for both indoor and outdoor areas.
Expected to be ‘very different’ to the RHS’s current roster of Flower Shows that are hosted annually all across the UK, the RHS Urban Show in Manchester will take inspiration from its industrial indoor city center location by showcasing a range of ‘immersive experiences’ designed for those who live in cities with limited or no outdoor growing space.
