Autumn Plant Fair
When? 01 September 2019
Where? Dorchester
Athelhampton House will be hosting the second Plant Fair of the year, organised by Plant Heritage Dorset. The Fair will be open from 10am -3pm and will feature a large number of independent growers from across the South and South West. There will be a wide range of plants including grasses, alpines, herbs, perennials, climbers & shrubs plus some summer bedding and basket plants.. The great advantage is that you can buy direct from the growers at very competitive prices and get specialist tips and advice, seldom available from Garden Centres. There are often rare and unusual varieties available.
Although the Fair finishes at 3pm our Gardens remain open until 5pm, so there is plenty of time to explore them afterwards. The Sunday carvery is always very popular on Plant Fair Days, so booking is strongly advised.
Entry to the Fair is £7.00 and includes access to the grounds and gardens.
