Now in its 19th year, our Plant Hunters' Fair at The Dorothy Clive Garden has become a tradition with plant lovers from near and far.

"Thoroughly enjoyed it, lovely plants, choice, gardens and staff. See you next time" - Bronwyn on Facebook.

If you haven't been to the garden before you're in for a real treat and we know we'll meet again many of our gardening friends who have enjoyed the sheer exuberant flower power of the borders over the years the fairs have been running.

At all times the garden is place to relax with plenty of secluded places and lots of seats.

"We went we got lots of plants we had a fantastic afternoon big thanks to all involved" – Dave on Facebook

"It was a lovely event. Huge thanks to the organisers and team!" – Liz on Facebook
