There will also be wine tasting and a beer garden to help proceedings along.
Visitors will be able to buy a range of specialist plants and flowers from right across Europe and will also be able to seek advice form gardening gurus Bunny Guinness, Dermot O'Neill and John Cushnie during a gardeners' question time.
