The annual Hergest Croft Gardens Spring Plant Fair in Kington - which is one of the oldest in the county - has attracted a record number of exhibitors ahead of the event, which takes place on Bank Holiday Monday, May 5 - and is a must for all keen gardeners

The fair will feature over 65 stalls selling many rare and unusual plants, trees and shrubs from some of the finest suppliers in the country, a blacksmith’s demonstration, delicious artisan foods, local craft stalls, catering outlets and craft ales from the Weobley Brewery. In addition, renowned Welsh Harpist Aisha Vaughan (ex Clannad) will be performing on the day.

“We are absolutely thrilled and delighted that this year’s event has attracted such interest from some of the best nurseries and horticultural specialists in the Midlands” said Austyn Hallworth, Head of Marketing & PR for Hergest Croft Gardens.

“Last year, we exceeded visitor numbers and increased exhibitors, so to be over subscribed with a waiting list a week before the fair is very encouraging and testimony to the quality of the event. This is a fabulous day out for all the family and the weather is certainly on our side this year” he said.
