Southport Flower Show Patrons

Professor David Bellamy OBE

'On my first visit to Southport I was a bit worried because my particular brand of botany was all about wild weeds, not the highly cosseted ones that were on show.

What an eye opener though, crowds of people all potty about plants. I have been going there ever since'.

Professor Stefan Buczacki

One of Britain’s most distinguished media gardening experts with a huge following of devoted fans who appreciate his knowledge, authority and easy, relaxed style of communicating. Stefan travels widely but every time, when he returns to Southport, he says this is one of the highlights of his year.

Sir Roddy Llewellyn

'I always relish the opportunity to meet people who share my passion, which is why I’ve been coming to Southport Flower Show for the past decade or so.

The warmth of the people in Southport is famous. I am always made to feel very much at home. I do hope you’ll join me this year – I look forward to talking with you about your garden!'
