“The very popular annual Early Spring Plant Fair, organised by the HPS Somerset Group (SHPS), is returning to Yeo Valley’s Organic Garden on Saturday 25th March. The six and a half acre garden was the inspiration for 2021 RHS Chelsea Gold and People’s Choice Medal winner, Tom Massey, assisted by owner and Head Gardener Sarah Mead. Many of the 2021 Chelsea plants have now been planted in the garden.
The array of gorgeous plants, rich with the fresh foliage and jewel-like flowers of spring, available from specialist nurseries and other stalls, will get your garden off to a flying start. The Yeo Valley shop and the cafe will be open, so you can refresh yourself with coffee and cake and purchase many Yeo Valley products. Tickets must be booked in advance, booking opens on 6th February, entrance is £5 (£4 for RHS and HPS members) and includes entrance to the garden.
* All visitors must obtain an entrance ticket via the booking site (the link to the booking site is on the SHPS website https://somersethps.com/).
* Parking is limited at the venue so all car drivers must also book a free parking permit via the booking site. We hope that people will choose to car share if possible, and visitors without a parking permit risk being turned away.
* Tickets are available by hourly arrival slot, starting at 10.00am. This is intended to spread the arrival of customers and avoid an issue with parking. We expect the 10.00am slot to sell out quite quickly. Visitors may arrive at any time within their chosen hour and stay as long as they wish.
* The booking site will open on 6 February at 10.00am. The link to the booking site has been added beneath the flyer on the Home page of the SHPS website.”
