Blog: Find us at these terrific fairs for lovers of unusual plants!
We’re delighted to announce that we’re taking part in several Flower Power Fairs across the North this spring and summer.
If you’re a collector of unusual or rare plants, then these fairs are for you. All of the growers offer top-class plants, grown in the UK, usually propagated and nurtured by themselves. Serious plant enthusiasts and keen gardeners meet, share knowledge and learn from the experts. Of course, you can buy the latest in unusual, rare plants and shrubs as well as classic favourites.
Every month, between March and August, Yorkshire-born Judy Popley organises Flower Power Fairs, which she created in 2006. Many of the plants grown by stallholders are unavailable at garden centres. Expect cottage garden favourites, herbaceous perennials and shrubs, only at more competitive prices. From garden accessory stands to award-winning growers, there’s a variety of exhibitors at each fair.
Our stall will carry the best of our in-season plants and herbs, all grown peat-free and on the nursery here in Longhoughton, Northumberland. We’ll also have some of our Hedgeley Honey to buy too. Do check the dates below, as we aren’t attending all the fairs, just those in County Durham and North Yorkshire.
