They did a really wonderful job this year. They feature many of the exhibition forms you prefer. It is worth making the trip for sure.

Sadly, they have not continued this tradition since the 1970's, when budgets began to be cut and the garden went into a period of decline. Hopefully your beautiful examples will spark a new interest in this wonderful aspect of horticulture.
