To mark the 500th anniversary of Henry VIII's reign, the Royal Horticultural Society has introduced a special theme for this year's Hampton Court Palace Flower Show. As visitors approach the Long Water, there are six different small gardens, each representing one of Henry’s wives. Opposite are two further gardens, one a sensory rose garden and the other a Tudor-style garden by Whitgift School called Hidden Treasures for the Mary Rose, which has a suitable nautical feel. The theme is continued in the Festival of Roses marquee where Henry’s Tudor court is the inspiration for all the exhibitors.
