Plant & Garden Fair Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens
A large Plant Fair set on the spacious West Lawn of Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, surrounded by colourful and exotic plants. Organised by Plant Heritage Dorset. 30 Plant Nursery stalls offering a huge choice, manned by specialist growers, plus a number of interesting, quality craft stalls in the large marquee. Plants available include shrubs, alpines, carnivorous, exotics, tropical, succulents, hardy perennials & grasses, climbers, cottage garden plants, shade-lovers etc. Several different refreshment options, including a solar-powered fresh coffee stall amongst the plants. Individual stall holders may accept cash or card payments. However, please note that the Restaurant and Abbotsbury Garden Shop is currently card only. Please bring your own bags/crates for plant purchases; you may return to your car with plants and re-enter the fair several times. Wildlife charities, Butterfly Conservation and, stone ornaments, willow makers & garden blacksmiths will be there on the day.
There is lots of space in the gardens and at the plant fair, so we hope to achieve the right balance between enjoyment and safety. We hope that it will be as successful and enjoyable as the 3 fantastic fairs in 2023. 50% of the profits support plant conservation charity work.
Plant Fair 10am - 3pm. Gardens remain open until 5pm. Entry is free to Plant Heritage Members from anywhere in the UK. If you chose to join Plant Heritage on the day, you can get a year's membership for only 9months subs.
Public admission is £7.00 (and includes free access to the Gardens until 5pm). You can turn up at the gate on the day or book online in advance at abbotsburytickets.co.uk. Normal garden admission would be £12.95 so this offers a considerable saving.
