Give it a grow
March 29, 2024
With 35 days to the Festival, it’s the perfect time to get planting seedlings if you’d like to donate to the Plant Sale.
Examples of what we’d be grateful to receive: potted specimens from your gardens, vegetable seedlings, baby sunflower plants (ideal for children to plant up) or herbs, house plants and more to sell, with proceeds split evenly between the Festival charity and the Urchfont Garden club.
Plants can be delivered to Hanover House (beside the telephone box) for the sale no later than Friday 3rd May. Please label all plants and state colour and height on flowering items.
