    Plant Hunters Fairs

    Plant Hunters Fairs are specialist plant fairs at beautiful gardens or countryside locations.

    The next two Plant Hunters Fairs are being held outside Cheshire, in Shropshire and Staffordshire respectively, but it might be worth making the journey as they are both taking place in impressive gardens.
    On Saturday 10 and Sunday 11 June a PHF is being held at Hodnet Hall Gardens near Market Drayton; extending to over sixty acres and redeveloped in the twentieth century, they include formal gardens, a walled kitchen garden, areas of woodland and woodland walks, a string of pools and larger lakes.
    On Saturday 17 June there will be a PHF at Sugnall Walled Garden near Eccleshall; this two-acre walled garden, dating from the early eighteenth century when it was attached to Sugnall Hall, has been restored as a working kitchen garden producing fruit and vegetables.

    Lymm Open Gardens 2nd July from 12.30 onwards

    A number ofLymm gardens are ready once again to open their gates as part of Lymm Festival. This is a unique opportunity to see private gardens at their best and spend a delightful afternoon touring between each one, perhaps stopping along the way to sample some of the refreshments....

    Open Gardens

    The gardens as always range in style, form and function, making sure that there is something to please everyone. We have an enormous variety of the best gardens in Lymm including the return of the allotments, small cottage gardens to large 1 acre+ gardens.

    General News and Events

    The Club runs and maintains the small but very attractive garden area outside and adjoining Lymm Village Hall. From time to time, we convene 'working parties' to ensure that the garden is kept at its best, with a bit of refreshing, reorganising, replanting and so on.
    The next such working party and garden get-together will convene this coming Wednesday morning, 7 June, at 10.30 am outside the Village Hall. Anyone and everyone, members or friends, with a bit of time to spare on Wednesday morning and who would like to help out would be very welcome, so please do come along and join us if you can. Coffee will be available.

    A number of other towns and villages in Cheshire have their own open garden events coming up, including three not too far from us which will be taking place during June.
    On Sunday 11 June Goostrey will hold an open gardens in aid of the East Cheshire hospice, with around fifteen local gardens taking part; details are available at:
    On Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 June the outer Manchester suburb of Chorlton cum Hardy will hold an open gardens in aid of a range of local and African charities, with around sixteen gardens taking part.
