The Alpine Garden Society's Early Spring Show celebrates the start of spring, showcasing thousands of the globe's smallest and most beautiful plants grown to perfection. In addition to world-class displays of exquisite and unusual alpine, woodland, and hardy succulent plants, the show includes a plant fair featuring alpine specialist nurseries, plant societies, and craft stalls.
Please note that although the plant fair is open to the public from 9.30 am to 3.30 pm, the alpine show does not open until 11.00 am, after judging. So, shop first, store your purchases safely in your car, and return to see the prize-winning plants.
If you'd like to collect an order or see specific Dan Cooper Garden products at this venue, please email me at hello@dancoopergarden.com a few days in advance, and I'll bring your selected items.
This event is held in a large marquee with ample parking and good access.
