Garden Shows and Plant Fairs 2016

It is amazing at the calendar of events that make up a gardeners diary and here we are talking about flower and garden shows. We are a little lucky in the UK to have some well established events like Chelsea and Malvern, however the smaller plant fairs, many held in historic surroundings are also well worth a visit, especially for those in search of the rare and interesting offerings by specialist growers.

All garden shows are different so a little reading about what's on is a good idea. Many offer gardens to visit as an added attraction. Often held in the grounds of some historic properties.

The larger 'spectaculars' offer landscaping exhibits, while others offer a range of broader horticultural displays.
Clubs such as the Scottish Rock Garden Club and Alpine Garden Society put on displays that will make you want to learn a lot more. And of course the Plant Fairs, these are the place to buy that special plant as well as learn from the experts.

  • So read up on what's on and where.
  • Make a day of it, take a picnic and explore the surrounding area.
  • Look for talks and seminars, so much information to be gained.
  • Take a carry bag (or two) if you are thinking of buying plants.
