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.

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.
Earthed Up NEW. A new nursery to Rode Hall and Flower Power Fairs. Ryan is based in Derbyshire and specialises in edible and useful plants, mainly hardy perennials. They sell perennial kales, perennial alliums, Babington’s Leeks and walking onions. His range of perennial greens includes Profusion sorrel, mountain sorrel, minutia, wild rocket, Good King Henry, Causasian spinach and many tuberous plants. Ryan also grows medicinal flowering plants too.
Edge Nurseries Based in Staffordshire, Xavier joined Flower Power Fairs in 2023, 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.
Freckles and Flora Henrietta has an amazing collection of very unusual herbaceous perennials, mostly grown by herself from seeds or propagating.
GTS Gardening Services Gary hails from Yorkshire and brings a wonderful selection of hardy geraniums and complimentary hardy herbaceous plants. His stand is very popular at the Yorkshire fairs so make sure you see what specie plants he brings along.
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.
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.
Quite Interesting Plants NEW. A great name for any plant grower! Offering an interesting range of hardy plants along with a number of tender exotics. They also hold an expanding collection of Aeonium, fancy leaved Pelargoniums and Fuchsias. Dean was the former Head Gardener at Golden Acre Park in Leeds so has a wide history of working with amazing plants. I can’t wait to meet him.
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.
