Great
Gardens, Selected Specialist Nurseries |
We
work with some of the loveliest garden and countryside locations for our fairs. ach event is staged by
the venue, so each is different with its own unique character and charm.
Our only formula is for a friendly, interesting and value for money
event. Each event has a different mix of nurseries and the nurseries
bring a different mix of plants, so it is well worth
visiting us more than once.
As nurserymen and gardeners ourselves
we recognise 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. Venues often offer visitors reduced price entry to
the garden on the day of the fair, 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 these 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.
