Harlow Carr Plant Fair

what a lovely place harlow carr is! those tree houses and willow caves [?] look very interesting, some beautiful plants.

Lovely, Fantastic tulips, and the Alpine house looked good as well. Glad you enjoyed your day.

Fabulous day out! What a lovely garden. I love that purple and white pot. Grand to see all those tulips - they are quite finished round here.
Don't be sad you only had one pagoda lily - that's one more than I had.

Superb and very professional pictures. Takes me back to our visit some years ago when I was hoping to bump into the late Geoffrey Smith who wasn't only a fantastic gardener but a past superintendent of the gardens and was a regular visitor at that time. Well done!

Lovely set of pics, Simbad.
Thanks for the tour :o)

that is rubbing salt into my my wounds. i wanted to go but i am at kielder resevoir manning the galley whilst hubby and youngest get some sailing in.
ah well next year.

oh dear SBG, lovely place but tough if you are in the galley all the time!!!

hope its warm up there

What a lovely day out Simbad. The Tulips are beautiful. :o)

Glad you all enjoyed my day out too :-))
We went last autumn Sticki and the wigwams and tree house weren't there then, in fact they'd done so much since our last visit,the children were all enjoying the tree house :-)
The tulips were amazing Cinders there were so many wonderfull displays and pots :-)
Thats made me feel better Steragram :-) my pagoda lilies did start off with a few flower heads but something bit all the heads off !!!!!, grrr.
Thanks Jimmy glad you enjoyed the pictures and they brought back some happy memories for you, the gardens are so well looked after aren't, they must have a small army of gardeners but you hardly see any around ?
Thanks TT :-)
Sorry SBG :-) it was a lovely day and made all the better by the dry weather, was really busy, we arrived around 11.30 and the plant stalls had nearly been picked over even then!!!!, still there is the lovely nursery as well, no chance of getting in Betty's Tea rooms, well you'd have a long wait, queing out the door for seats there :-)

oh what a shame, bettys is lovely.

What a lovely day out the pictures are brilliant and I just knew you had to buy some new plants, very interesting choices, will look forward to seeing pictures of them,and a perfect end to the day a pub meal ;0))

Those tulips are magnificent!

I've been to Harlow Carr quite a few times and always enjoyed it.

Galley duties not too bad as it was warm inside. but i'd prefer to be wandering the plant fairs or in my own garden.

Looks like a really good day out!

Loved the Arisaema sikokianum, and the first aroid (Amorphophallus?) too.

Forgot about the Arum Meanie, that was very popular lots of people taking pictures of it :-))

Not surprised!!

What stunning photographs, it must have been wonderful.

I would love to try to do a pot containing the white hyacinths, narcissii and tulips just like the one you saw. Will make a note of it!!!

All lovely.

Thankyou Wildrose I loved those pots too, thats just why I took the picture to hopefully a go myself :-))
Thankyou Carole, I'll take pictures of all my new purchases later :-)
Thanks Daglelie :-)
Beautiful place isn't it Clarice I've been a few times now and there's always something new to look at:-)
Hope you're off galley duty now SBG and back in the garden :-)
