Martin Blow of Plant Hunters' Fairs, said: "We are really looking forward to returning to this wonderful historic Kitchen Garden. Spring is here and it’s time to get out in the garden and get planning and planting for the year ahead and where better to get inspiration and some brilliant plants than at this event. This spring plant fair is a favourite with garden lovers who enjoy the chance to choose from thousands of plants all lovingly grown by the specialist nurseries attending.

"These wonderful specialist nurseries will come laden with flowering bulbs, perennials and shrubs to provide instant colour plus lots of later flowering plants to get planted now for colour into the summer and beyond. Wildflowers, herbs, apple trees, clematis, plants for shade and alpines will also feature at the fair."

"The nursery folk are on hand to help, each with years of knowledge and experience, and full of helpful tips.”
