Welcome to Rare Plant Fairs 2009.
These are now organised and run by the nurseries themselves. At each fair there will be nurseries offering a wide range of interesting shrubs, perennials and bulbs for you to choose from. You can get the best advice on plants and planting from the real expert, the growers themselves! Join us at the fairs and you will have a day to remember at a price you can afford.
A Unique Opportunity
Our Fairs are a unique opportunity for all plant hunters and garden enthusiasts to source rare and unusual plants at very reasonable prices.
The Fairs are attended by specialist Nurseries who, as well as growing the plants, can give expert advice on their care and planting requirements.
What can I buy?
Rare and traditional varieties of plants are available. Plants often become 'rare' because they have fallen out of fashion. There are new introductions to this country; many of them brought back here after plant hunting trips to other countries by the nursery proprietors selling them. There are also the plants available that are difficult to propagate and so are in very short supply.
Advice and ideas
The Rare Plant Fairs also offer enthusiasts and beginners alike an opportunity to gain advice and ideas from the experienced growers who really care about the plants and want customers to choose plants that will thrive in their own garden environment.
Beautiful locations
An added bonus to all fairs, is that they all take place in great locations, which are
worth a day-out in their own right. We carefully select those venues which have either a House or Garden to visit, and which can each, transport you from the 'push and shove' of today, to the tranquility of the countryside and maybe the past, for the whole day.
