Rare Plant Fairs

Has anyone been to one?

Rare Plant Fair - Fairs

We live fairly close to Wells so we think we'll go to that one, but I just wondered if anyone had been and thought them worthwhile.

Thanks in advance.

Hmmm I wonder if 'rare plant' means 'expensive plant'?

Not at the fairs we used to attend. I used to take the magazine Garden News, and they listed fairs each month. We used to attend those in the local area, and got some unusual plants at very reasonable prices.

Most of the fairs were at small local farms, but two of the largest were at Caulke Abbey and Chatsworth House in Derbyshire. I think the Chatsworth fair will be in April.

I wondered this too and looked on the websites of some of the nurseries. Some seemed very expensive others not. It will be worth a look.

There are also these ones.
