Royal Horticultural Society of Aberdeen Flower Show

The annual Royal Horticultural Society of Aberdeen Flower Show had traditionally taken place at the Duthie Park in Aberdeen but has now moved location to Hazlehead Park to coincide with the Aberdeen Blooms 2007 event. This keeps alive a tradition that dates back to the year 1824. Exhibit categories at the Royal Horticultural Society of Aberdeen Flower Show include vegetables, flowers, wine making, baking, floral art, bonsai, cacti, crafts, photography and a competition for children.

Aberdeen Blooms is organised and run by Aberdeen Council and RHSA. This family orientated day will see a mixture of horticultural and gardening events mixed with exhibits, activities and a food hall of local Aberdeenshire and Scottish produce.

Over 10,000 visitors attended the AberdeenBlooms 2007.
