Kent Garden Show, Detling, 29, 30 and 31 May

A great place to buy plants. Admission £6.00, under sixteens go free if accompanied. Although I wouldn't advise dragging unwilling teenagers around. I left mine to sulk in the refreshments area a couple of years back ( I did take him home in the end, obviously).

Hi ClaraLou
I'm sick as a parrot that I'll miss it this year, as I wanted to buy my summer bedding and also lots of herbs at the show. We're going to Devon for the Bank Holiday, so I can't moan too much, although it does mean I'll have to pay top whack for my bedding at the GC now, I suppose!
Hope you enjoy it, anyway.

 

Have a good time, Tiarella. Funnily enough we were down near you last weekend - popped in for a cuppa at Lathe Barn in Burmarsh.

 

Wow Shiney - just seen your lovely garden pics. You would laugh if you saw mine at the moment - it's a tiny town garden and I am currently digging most of it out and starting again. My family calls it my 'scorched earth policy'.

 

Sadly, Shiney, your place is in the opposite direction to where we're going, so we can't even do a detour en route. I'd have loved to do that, having had a look at your thread with the photos. Still, as you say, there could well be some nice plant sales going on in Devon whilst we are there. I can hope so, anyway.....
Good luck with the "scorched earth policy" ClaraLou, I'm sure you'll find plenty of inspirational plants at Detling to effect a transformation :gnthb:
