We will be holding the plant fair on the lawns beside the Conservatory so allowing all the stands to really spread out and show the magnificent plants they have to offer. As always we open from 11am to 4pm and may I politely ask you to leave your dogs at home as this is a wild life garden and the head garden is eager to keep disturbance to a minimum.
