NEWS:

Our first event at Adlington Hall was blessed with beautiful weather to perfectly set off the sparkling gardens and parkland. Over 750 visitors enjoyed a wonderful day. Click here to see pictures from the event

New for 2010: We are really excited about a new plant fair we are arranging with the National Memorial Arboretum, Staffordshire for 2010.

Dorothy Clive Garden: Following the tremendous success of our Easter event at this great garden in 2010 we will be extending the event to 2 days (Easter Sunday and Monday). The garden will still offer the great value half price entry on these days.

 

Our 2009 Plant Fair Programme:

Our 2009 plant fairs include venues in Cheshire, The Wirral, Shropshire, Staffordshire, South Manchester and North Wales. Many are free or the small entry fee is deductible from entry to the hosting garden, leaving you with more to spend on plants.  Many of our events are hosted by beautiful gardens offering a great value for money day out. At some events we offer a programme of complementary talks by entertaining and knowledgeable speakers. These are free or at a small charge to cover materials.

All our plant fairs feature only selected nurseries. We select nurseries that grow and propagate most of the their plants. The nurserymen and women are experts in their fields and are committed to offering expert advice at all times. Many collect, preserve and enthuse about rare plants, old varieties and plants not sold by garden centres - we feature many National Plant Collections at our events. 

You won't find market traders, knick-knacks or hog roasts - just top quality plants and lovely gardens to enjoy. 

Please note that most nurseries cannot accept credit cards at garden events, so remember to bring your cheque book!
