Phew, were exhausted, what a great weekend!

Posted:13 May 2013

Having invited several of the best Sussex nurseries along to bring along many of their wonderful and often ‘hard to get hold of’ plants – trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, vegetables and succulents – to The Garden House Plant Fair, we had our fingers crossed for clement weather.

Well, as is typical in spring, the weather was sunny, but at times also chilly and windy, with a bit of rain thrown in for luck!  Fortunately gardeners are a hardy lot, and tempted by great plants, all manner of garden paraphernalia, beautiful woodblock prints, a plant swop – and the most delicious homemade food at the pop-up café! – we were happily inundated with visitors.

This was our opportunity to join in the spirit of the Brighton Festival and it was a wonderful weekend our thanks to all the nurseries and exhibitors who took part and to all our helpers and friends.
