The Summer Plant Fair gives us all a chance to buy plants when they’re in leaf, so we can see their growth habit, what colour the flowers are and, when we get home, how they might fit into our borders. It’s a glorious event, full of colour and joie de vivre! Come along and take some gorgeous beauties home with you to help fill those gaps in the border as early summer flowers start to fade. The garden created by Libby Russell at Batcombe House is a wonderfully exuberant celebration of the plantswoman’s craft, too – there’s always something new and interesting to see as you walk around.
