Following the great success of last year's festival of gardening, we are continuing the event this month with more stands, activities and demonstrations, celebrating all that grows!
In the market place there will be a wide selection of stands selling plants, a greater number of specialist nuseries, garden accessories and crafts, as well as local growing initiatives, wildlife organisations and garden design.
During the course of the day there will be many exhibits for visitors to enjoy, including themed displays, an allotment show, an exhibition of photography, 'Gardens of India,' by resident photographer Angela Walker, demonstrations and chickens and rabbits in the courtyard!
Demonstrations include flower arranging, beekeeping, willow, 'grow your own', container planting, watercolour painting and origami.
The ever-popular Gardening Question Time also returns during the afternoon.
This year we also have a 'grow your own' workshop for children which includes a visit to Country Market where participants can pick their own food before meeting back at Farnham Maltings to cook their finds with the Crafty Chefs! Advance booking is required. For more information please click here.
Also new for this year is the sunniest sunflower competition. To enter just bring along a photo of yourserlf with your sunflower on the day. The competition will be judged by the mayor of Farnham and the winner will receive a fmaily ticket to birdworld.
