Martin Blow, of Plant Hunters’ Fairs, said “We are really excited to return to this wonderful garden. It’s a great time to get out in the garden and get planning and planting for the year ahead and where better to get inspiration.
“The plant fair is the place to come to find all that is best in garden plants with a wonderful line-up of specialist nurseries coming from near and far with a brilliant range and diversity of plants for every garden. If you need some advice to help you choose then there are nursery folk on hand to help.”
