Its looking all set fair for The Fair this weekend. Traders are all raring to go and hopefully everyone with chlorophyll filled veins will be here and fevered up as well. The garden is also still full of late spring interest and the flowers have held on as the nights have been on the cool side and with no wind to speak of. This is a phone shot from the house roof where we have been completing some work in this fine spell. White Pearl is still full out, echiums are on the move and the conifers; C. macrocarpa and P. totara have flushed out with soft young growth.

The garden will now be open on Wednesday afternoons until the end of October for season ticket holders, visitors and holiday makers alike. There is much colour brewing in the walled garden borders, in the glasshouse and amongst the climbers on the walls. A special entry price of £5.00 pp (Cash only) for this Sunday while the plant fair is on. We look forward to catching you soon….
