East Lambrook Manor Gardens Plant Fair

About

Twenty two top independent nurseries and seed growers from all over the South West will once again be at East Lambrook Manor Gardens in Somerset on Saturday 23rd March for the eighth Early Spring Plant Fair, organised in partnership with the Hardy Plant Society, Somerset Group.

This very popular and prestige plant fair takes place in the grounds of cottage gardening doyenne Margery Fish’s former home and is a wonderful opportunity to source unusual and often quite rare plants of the kind seldom found in garden centres.

The end of March is a wonderful time in the garden at East Lambrook with everything simply bursting into growth. Among the plants in bloom are daphne, primula, hellebore and pulmonaria plus spring bulbs including the seldom-sold blue Scilla bithynica, which carpets the Ditch after the snowdrops go over. For avid gardeners keen to shake off the winter blues the garden and plant fair is a wonderful way of getting inspiration.

Hot soup, tea, coffee and excellent cakes will be available in the Malthouse cafe, where the wood burner will be blazing away. Alternatively book a table for lunch across the road at the delightful 17th century Rose & Crown inn.
