Well behaved dogs on short leads.
A great line up of quality stands including Gold and Silver award winners, shrubs, climbing plants and all those wonderful summer herbaceous plants that we all love.
Alfresco Design Luke is based in East Yorkshire and always has an incredible display of garden accessories. Ornamental delights including his iron trees, rusty plant supports, flying swallows, pots and planters and water baths. It’ll be interesting to see what he has in store for us as his stocks change by the plant fair.
Chris Parsons A very warm welcome to Chris who is a new exhibitor to Flower Power Fairs. Based in the North East and a head gardener to a private estate, Chris has a very experenced background in horticulture and has worked at several high profile gardens. He specialises in shade loving plants, but will always bring some choice plants that are looking their best in July.
Dark Star Plants Jenny needs no introduction with her wonderful array of dark foliage plants and complimentary flowers to brighten up anyone’s gardens. She always brings an unusual selection of herbaceous plants for you, and hopefully some jam jar posies.
Fayrefield Horticulture and Garden Design Tracey is based at Seamer, near Scarborough and specialises in pollinator plants. She always brings an interesting selection of herbaceous and annual plants, wild flowers, vegetable plants and herbs as well as her own hand made willow sculptures including hares and dragonflies.
Gardening with Wildlife A cornucopia of amazing things which Matthew has lovingly created out of discarded wood, wire, paper and anything else he can get his hands on. A large selection of hand made and correctly built bird boxes, hedgehog homes, owl boxes and habitat hotels. Aided and abetted by his wife, Fran, who creates many of the other items they sell, often with delightful decoupage pots and planters, sea glass creations, recycled copper items and Ben who is also a gifted wood turner in his own right bringing quality pens and wooden bowls. Gardening with wildlife is for anyone who wishes to tempt our birds, bees and mammals into our gardens.
Middlemoor Cottage Garden Plants Sharon and Jeff are based near Richmond and bring a vast selection of summer flowering plants including hardy perennials, cottage garden plants, annuals, vegetables and some lovely pots and containers. And in the middle of all this, they farm too.
Morton Nurseries Gill is based near Newark and over the years has created the most wonderful garden from what had been an empty field. She always brings delights! Specialising in very unusual plants and shrubs, you won’t be disappointed. Gold medal winners at RHS shows and Harrogate Flower Shows in previous years.
Northern Ark Nursery Many of you will remember Simon, the previous owner of Northern Ark. He sold out his business a couple of years ago and we are thrilled to welcome new owner, Ian Robson, to Flower Power. Depending on the season, Ian will be bringing his hardy herbs (they live in Northumberland!) 95% of which has been grown from their own cuttings. All grown in their own peat free compost.
Priorswood Clematis Based in Hertfordshire, James has become a “standing dish” at the Flower Power Fairs for several years bringing a mouth-watering selection of their very own clematis, lonicera, jasmine, hardy Passiflora, Trachelospermum and Wisteria. Recent gold and silver award winners at the RHS shows and Harrogate Spring Flower Show all add to this nursery, showing the quality plants they grow and sell.
Queen of Green Another new nursery to Flower Power this year is Sharon from Kirkby Fleetham. She will be bringing houseplants, tropical, native, carnivorous and foliage plants as well as some succulents and cacti.
Respect Soaps Sandra’s stand always smells delicious with her huge variety of home made soaps, earth kind soap for hair, hands and body care items plus a small selection of scented home items. Wonderful quality and I can highly recommend her shampoos.
RSPB Royal Society for the Protection of Birds will be our main charity this year, bringing knowledge and passion to our wonderful garden birds. Please consider joining the society to help our, sadly, diminishing bird life.
