FOR its 75th year, Southport's dazzling summer flower show will once again offer an amazing gardening experience for all the family and we have eight pairs of free tickets to give away to our readers.

Visitors can party into summer with 'Celebrations' as this year's theme and will discover hundreds of horticultural ideas at the UK's largest independent flower show. The UK's only HERBoretum is back by popular demand and will be an aromatic adventure, packed with displays and demonstrations about all things herbal.

Gardening gurus and Southport Flower Show patrons Professor David Bellamy, Professor Stefan Buczacki and Roddy Llewellyn will be there to cast an expert eye over the exhibits including more outside garden displays than ever before.

Royal reporter and 'I'm a celebrity...Get me out of here' star Jennie Bond will be on hand in her very own jungle garden on Saturday 20 August, to answer questions from visitors on anything from jungle plants and animals to life as a royal reporter.

This special Southport Flower Show will be boasting celebrity guests galore including household gardening names Chris Beardshaw, Roy Lancaster, Anne Swithinbank and Nigel Colborn. We've teamed up with Southport Flower Show to give Star readers the chance to put these connoisseurs in the hot seat to get tips for their own gardens- and much more for free.
