Autumn Plant Fair with Artisan Market
An exciting day out for experienced and novice gardeners alike!
Garden Zone
Featuring nurseries from near and far with lots of unusual and popular plants for sale, including trees, ferns, grasses, alpines and much more. We’ll have local National Plant Collections and the Suffolk Plant Heritage propagation group on-site, selling rare plants which are not easily found elsewhere. We’ll also be selling a wide range of garden accessories; from antique garden tools to modern sculpture and garden furniture.
Conservation Zone
We’re proud to welcome a number of Garden Societies, Local and National Charities to our Plant Heritage Autumn Fair. They’ll be on hand during the day to give specialist advice about maintaining plants, gardens and different types of wildlife.
800 Free Plants
We’ll be giving away 800 plants, as giving a plant away is the best form of conservation.
Garden Marquee
The Garden Marquee will host a wide range of workshops throughout the day, including lots of insider tip and tricks. Our Plant Doctors will also be available to offer advice on any gardening topic, identifying your mystery plants and plant problems.
Artisan Market
