Rare Plant Fair

Sunday 15th June, 10am-4pm

Once we get hooked on gardens and gardening, we all become fascinated with new and unusual plants. Whether we specialise in collecting a particular group of plants such as roses, snowdrops, irises, etc., or are just interested in anything that is rare or novel, we’re constantly on the lookout for that special plant. However, finding the plants that we need or want (not always the same thing!) is not always easy. The best sources are the many specialist growers and nurseries around the country, but many are based in remote locations, or may not be open regularly (or at all) to the public at their home sites. So how can these nurseries and the avid gardeners desperate to buy their plants be brought together? The solution lies in Rare Plant Fairs, held throughout the growing season from March to September.

All the events are set in beautiful and unique gardens, offering the visitor the complete horticultural day out, for novice or experienced gardeners alike. The original idea remains as good as ever, with the Fairs continuing to be extremely popular with both nurseries and gardeners. You can also relax and enjoy refreshments, often homemade, at all of our venues. At every one of our fairs there is the opportunity to buy interesting and unusual plants from our nurseries, all of whom are genuine growers dedicated to offering you well-grown plants and advice on the plants they sell. 

Refreshments will be available from the Stables Cafe.
