TOBY BUCKLAND'S GARDEN FESTIVAL
We would like to share with you a few pictures from last week's Garden Festival.
Pictures kindly taken by Emma Solley Photography. Further details can be found at her website - www.emmasolley.com.
We are delighted to announce the purchase of Toby Buckland's Plant Centre at Powderham Castle. We started the handover last week and are settling in well .
The new Plant Centre will complement our existing Matford site and allow us to stock a wider range of plants, trees and hedging.
Toby says, “After almost five years of trading we have turned the Plant Centre into a well-respected local business and I look forward to seeing Urban and Rural Plants take it from strength to strength. While I will be sad to say goodbye to all our lovely customers, I’m dedicating much-needed time to our expanding Garden Festivals business which this year sees the addition of a new Harvest and Garden Fest at Forde Abbey in Somerset.”
It is a fantastic location with some fantastic views and we are really looking forward to the season ahead. Hope to see you soon!
We will be running Christmas workshops at our Powderham plant centre. Hosted by Chelsea award winning florist Amanda Windsor.
Workshops run from 1pm to 4pm and refreshments are included. They are £40 each and 50% deposit is required on booking.
