Arley Spring Plant Fair

You did very well there

A great selection of purchases ...
glad you had a good time :o)
I'm adding this blog to GoYpedia Plant Labels.

i love it at arley is the g.c open now .................. its so pretty and they sell wot they grow , am bt 30 mins away so will def b going , i did a blog on it last aurtum have a look lol , if you can find it ;0p

I will do Cristina :P This is now I think the fourth time I've been... although we didn't go round the gardens this time (but they are open, as is the nursery). Last year we went to the garden festival in June, a production of the Tempest in the walled garden in late summer, and then around the gardens again in autumn/winter... there should be some pictures somewhere :P

I think I did Cinderella :) ...got in nice and early ;)
and thanks Terra, I did :) Although it did chuck it down once we got there, after I left my raincoat in the car :$ :P

It's nice that you were able to make some purchases at the plant sale, Jenny. Too bad about the rain but it seems it didn't deter you from enjoying yourself! :)

Happy planting...I will ge to Arley Hall soon to one of their fairs...I think it's in May they are having another and it's not too far for us to travel.

Yeah, May 15th is the rare plant fair :) I'm going to be in uni then so will miss it though *sob* I hope you go and enjoy it though :) Have you been to Arley before?

great collection there jenny, well done, happy planting and love puss :o)

oooooooooooo may have to go to that . its my b day on the 16 so if we dont go away ............... will go there .
its bin hailstoneing here to day lol while the sun was out !!!!!!!!!! wots that all bt .......................

i cant go as its my uncles 60th that day :o( and we will just have got back from benidorm which i cant wait to get there now :o)

Hubby begs to differ but I am pretty sure we did visit Arley quite a few years ago.

I'll see what's happening on the day...we might get there, especially if our garden is ready for planting up by then.

i hope it is ready for you jacquie just in time for summer :o)

You have a very nice lot of plants there. You must have enjoyed the fair :o) That's great ! I like your companion :)

Thanks, and he is the sweetest Hywel :P Although he gets a bit cranky when I keep shoving a camera in his face, poor cat.

The fair was good today, but only a small one... the rare plants one might be aswell... so if its awkward to get to, or you're unavailable that day, I would deffinitely reccomend the summer festival in June (i think its like the 26th or the 29th or something). Its really good and much bigger, and you get to see the gardens in all their glory and stuff :) Last year the head gardener did a tour round the herbacious borders and the rose garden, which was really good:) (the weather was a lot better too;) I think I posted some pictures I took of the gardens when we went.

went to arley on sat ............... oh was socked how much the cream tea and a pint was lol...................
got myself a helianthus lemon queen , cos i knew they did them , and a white flowering currant called icicle , they had one at the entrance lovely .;0)))

I've only been to the café bit once, but I think it was quite dear :/ Dad bought a flowering currant from the nursery when we were there... we might even have the same one! :P We didn't get to look round the gardens though :( was much out?

did not go in gardens as going to go to the ngs day in july ................ got the curant , icicle white one lol x
