After a restorative cup of tea, visitors can take a look at a number of plant stalls set up by local specialist nurseries that will be imparting their plant knowledge and selling a wide variety of perennials, annuals, shrubs and herbs and then try their luck in the charity raffle for the chance to win an array of garden-themed prizes
