Book tickets
Buy specialist plants, get advice, and take part in tours at the Plant Fair, in partnership with Plant Fairs Roadshow.

Taking place across our beautiful Gardens, you can buy plants from small and independent nurseries run by specialist growers who are passionate about the plants they produce.

The Nurseries provide a spectrum of plants including cottage-garden favourites, shade-loving plants, alpines, trees and shrubs, succulents and many more.

Speak directly to knowledgeable growers and get advice from experts about what you are growing… or would like to!
