activities for green-fingered gardeners and children alike, making
them ideal events for a fun, family day out.

selection of garden exhibitors and guest speakers as well as
entertainments, craft stalls and food vendors which combine to lend
the event a real festival feel. Tickets are available on the day but
discounted prices are available for visitors who book online now.

inspiration from plant life in its natural habitat, then pop along to
Evenley Wood Garden in Brackley.

glades, gardens and woodlands, but special events are on offer
