Visitors were able to see a variety of flower displays, cool of with an ice cream or a glass of champagne.

One of the displays includes a silver medal-winning Viking Cruises Nordic Lifestyle Garden at the 2018 Hampton Court Palace Flower Show. 

The garden celebrates traditional Nordic wellbeing rituals and features traditional plants and herbs with medicinal benefits that are used in Scandinavian cooking – a sanctuary for both body and mind.

Key features also include a sauna hut situated on the edge of a woodland glade and a nearby plunge pool accessed by traversing boulder stepping-stones. This pays homage to the Nordic tradition of “Sauna Bathing,” practised finding deep inner peace and relaxation.

The flower show finishes on Sunday, June 8 and anyone who wants to visit can buy tickets online.
