Celebrating 50 Years of bringing growers, suppliers, and industry professionals together
In 2026, the South West Growers Show proudly celebrates its 50th anniversary - a significant milestone recognising half a century of bringing growers, suppliers, and industry professionals together. This anniversary highlights the show’s enduring importance and its ongoing commitment to supporting horticulture across the region.
This is a unique event that brings together key growers and suppliers of specialist horticultural equipment and services. The South West Growers Show is the perfect event to see and source all the latest plant introductions and new horticultural products and equipment.
Our History
The South West Growers Show has been a cornerstone event for the horticultural industry since its beginnings in 1974. Originally launched as a grower-focused conference, it quickly evolved, holding its first commercial exhibition in 1976 at Pinhoe, Exeter.
As the show grew in scale and reputation, it moved to the Matford Centre in the late 1980s, where it continued to develop into one of the region’s key horticultural trade events.
Over the decades, the show has been managed by several respected organisations, including:
- BGLA, a subsidiary of the NFU
- The Grower Magazine
- South West Growers Show Ltd, operated by local grower representatives
In 2018, Kernock Park Plants Ltd took over full management of the event, ensuring its continued success and strengthening its position as the leading horticultural trade show in the South West.
