The Rare Plant Fair
When? 30 June 2019
Where? Dorchester
Sculpture by the Lakes is extremely honoured to have been chosen to host the Rare Plant Fair during their 25th season.
The organisers carefully select the nurseries to ensure that they are genuine growers who produce most or all of the plants that they sell themselves. The nurseries that exhibit at each fair are chosen so that we can offer the widest possible range of plants to our visitors, including perennials, shrubs and trees, alpines, bulbs and exotic plants.
All of the nursery owners are experts in the plants that they grow, and some are National Collection holders. They are all always happy to offer all the advice that you need to select and grow the right plants for your garden. And don't forget that all of the nurseries are happy to bring pre-ordered plants to the fairs that they are attending, so don't forget to visit their websites to see what they can offer!
Admission is £7.00 and includes the Fair and Gardens.
