Rare Plant Fair at The Bishop’s Palace

Sunday 8th September

10am-4:30pm

Are you a keen gardener or horticultural enthusiast?

If so, you’ll want to head down to The Bishop’s Palace in Wells on Sunday 8th September for the perfect opportunity to find rare and unusual plants from a selection of top nurseries from all over the South West.

The nurseries are carefully selected by Ian and Teresa Moss from Rare Plant Fairs to ensure that they are genuine growers who produce most or all of the plants that they sell themselves.

The range is chosen so that they can offer the widest possible variety of plants to visitors, including perennials, shrubs and trees, alpines, bulbs and exotic plants.

All of the nursery owners are experts in the plants that they grow and are happy to offer the advice that you need to select and grow the right plants for your garden.

Tickets for the fair include entrance to the Medieval Palace and 14 acres of RHS partner gardens, and are available for £6.
