What a
lovely event we had at this time last year! The April weather smiled on
us and the gardens sparkled in the early spring sun. Everyone we spoke
to at the fair had fallen in love with the garden and came away with
some very special plants.
To whet your
appetite click here for some photos of the garden
taken April 2011.
Nurseries will be bring fresh
stock on each day, so there is plenty of opportunity to purchase their
wonderful plants on either day. All are happy to bring pre-ordered
plants to the fair.
The 12 acre Dorothy Clive Garden is surprisingly intimate and informal. It embraces a
variety of landscape features, including a superb woodland garden, an
alpine scree, a damp garden and spectacular summer flower borders.
In spring it is full of blossom,
drifts of bulbs, priimulas and fabulous rhododendrons and azaleas.
Visitors can rest on the many garden seats provided throughout the
grounds and enjoy the tearoom's home-baking on the terrace lawn, whilst
taking pleasure from the lovely views of the surrounding countryside.
