Martin Blow of Plant Hunters’ Fairs said: “We are really thrilled to be able to return to Cholmondeley Castle for what promises to be this special date in plant lovers’ diaries. Following on from the success of last year’s summer midweek fair – we are back on a Wednesday again, our only midweek plant fair of the season.
Wednesday 23rd July sees the popular Plant Hunters’ Fair return to Cholmondeley Castle Gardens
“The line-up is our biggest ever at this venue with a brilliant range of the best independent plant nurseries from near and far including RHS Gold Medal Winners and National Plant Collection Holders.
“It will be just the right time to pick up some summer flowering plants to perk up your beds and borders and fill the garden with scent and you are sure to find something to create a blooming brilliant garden with thousands of wonderful plants to choose from, including bee-friendly perennials, shrubs, plants for shade, alpines, roses, wildflowers, herbs, house plants, grasses, variegated or foliage plants.”

“If you need some advice to help you choose then there are nursery folk on hand to help, each an expert in their field with years of knowledge and experience, and full of helpful tips, so get along to Cholmondeley Castle Garden for some blooming inspiration.
“The event includes entry to the stunning gardens at Cholmondeley Castle. This will be ablaze with colour and there is a “wow” moment around each corner, with flowering shrubs, a beautiful rose garden and the 100-metre-long double herbaceous borders, which should be looking wonderful. There are also many wonderful walks to choose from including Tower Hill and Deer Park Meer and when you’ve finished there’s always the tearoom to retreat to! This event is such great value, why not bring your friends and family to make a day of it in the romantic gardens and grounds of the castle.”
Dogs on leads are welcome. Refreshments are available from the garden café or bring a picnic to enjoy in the grounds. The gardens are located between the A41 and A49 north of Whitchurch near Malpas (SY14 8HN for sat nav).
