A very popular plant fair with the Cheshire gardeners and I am delighted that we will be able to hold the fair with them. Spilling out from the gravelled drive and into the park, the fair has grown over the years and features many of the top plant nurseries in the North West.
The list below shows both the plant specialists and the garden accessories who will be attending our May Day event.
A & A Plants NEW
Based in Cheshire and new to Flower Power Fairs. Perennial plants and grasses all labelled with information and growing conditions. They offer 82 genera and approximately 230 varieties of perennials during the season!
Bramble Cottage Plants – a warm welcome to another NEW plant nursery. Another plant nursery based in Cheshire. Rob has a long pedigree working alongside his father and now has his own perennial nursery selling all sorts of wonderful spring and summer plants.
Bright and Beautiful David Leese has been at Flower Power Fairs for many years, always bringing a great collection of seasonal plants, hardy perennials, shrubs, always of the highest quality.A
Brownall Plant Nursery NEW
Jen will be bringing a wide cross section of delightful plants for you to choose from but she particularly loves the following: Saxifraga, Tonfolium Rubens, cottage garden favourites, Francoa, Rogersia, Fillipendula, Persicaria, Campanula and Thalictrum. Don’t forget to say hello to her
D K Plants Dave Knox and I have known each other for well over 30 years! He is a dedicated plantsman with extensive knowledge and over the years has created his own garden display areas at his nursery in Cheadle, Staffordshire. Dave always brings an amazing display of plants. Unusual shrubs, hardy perennials and shade loving plants.
Edge Nurseries Based in Staffordshire, Xavier joined Flower Power Fairs last year and puts together a great display of his perennials and seasonal plants. If any of you are wanting hanging baskets, let me know and I’ll ask Xavier to bring some with him.
Fig & Rose You first met Fig & Rose at Rode Hall last year. Anne brings a magnificent display of garden accessories, rusty metal décor, plant supports, obelisks, garden wall art, bird baths, planters and whatever delights she’s created over the winter season.
Hardy Plant Society – Staffordshire Branch A cornucopia of plants on sale from the wonderful ladies and gentlemen of the HPS. Lots of little gems to be had from their stall so make sure you get there early to have the best choice.
Hillview Hardy Plants Based in Shropshire, this wonderful nursery is the holder of Gold medals from Chelsea, Hampton Court, Malvern, Harrogate Flower Shows and many more. I have known the Millingtons for many years and they always bring an interesting collection of plants in flower to the fairs. They hold the National Collection of Auricula so expect to see some of those little gems at the fair.
Hillside Herbs Will is based in Northwich and always brings a delightful stand, chock full of wonderful plants. He will be bringing a wide variety of beautiful herbs, both medicinal and culinary and some who just delight and you want to plant in your gardens.
Just Baskets Cliff returns to Rode Hall and some new (and rather beautiful) baskets, some lined with hessian and linen. His stand is always a great temptation to me, with garden trugs, log baskets, shopping baskets, decorative table baskets and some little animals and creatures to give as gifts to your children or grandchildren.
Meadowmakers – Ed Cook specialises in wild flower planting, meadows and all things wild and wonderful. From offering seeds to small plug plants and offering garden advice on how to create your own little area of wildness.
S J Hosta – as it says in the same, a NEW nursery to Flower Power who specialises in hostas and other shade loving plants. Hostas can also tolerate hot sun and I have them all over my garden. Just a joy to behold.
Stannard’s A lovely warm welcome back to Liz and Brian. As you may remember, Brian had a very serious bike accident last summer and they had to cancel all their events. Good to see them both back with us. Always a very colourful stand offering great value and beautiful plants to suit all areas of the garden.
