Great
Gardens, Selected Specialist Nurseries |
Lots
of top nurseries with hard-to-find, rare and always special plants set
within some of the region's most beautiful gardens with free entry or
prices well below the standard charge must be every plant lover's dream.
This is what Plant Hunters' Fairs are all about.
As gardeners ourselves
we know that plant lovers want either free entry to a fair or where
a fee is charged, they want a wonderful garden or landscape to enjoy and
make a day of. Our venues often offer visitors reduced price entry to
the garden on the day of the fair, or free entry to the fair, or a small
entry charge which is deductable from the entry price to the garden. All
this adds up to great value for money days out for plant
lovers. All entry fees go to the venue or the charity running the
venue and in many cases provide valuable additional funds to maintain
and develop the gardens.
As befits our lovely venues we
select a great mix of expert growers for each event each with their own
distinctive specialities. We aim for events where each stall is
different and full of interest. To see which nurseries are
