Show director Nick Smith said:
The first day of the show coincides with what would have been Agatha Christie's 132nd birthday and to mark the occasion, floral displays inspired by the Queen of Crime have been created.
Talented florists including celebrity floral designer Jonathan Moseley and award-winning Harrogate florist Helen James have created floral installations depicting book titles inspired by crime writing greats as part of the Blooms of Deception display.
Admission to the show includes access to Newby’s gardens and children’s adventure playground.
