The Plant Fairs Roadshow returns to beautiful Borde Hill, West Sussex, on Sunday, 21st September. You're invited to shop from an exciting line-up of independent nurseries from across the South East, offering an abundance of autumn specialities such as late-flowering perennials, acers, ferns and spring-flowering bulbs. I will be there with a full range of tools and gifts for garden lovers - it's not too early to put a few things away for Christmas!
Late summer is a great time to visit the garden, with dahlias, Japanese anemones, hydrangeas, fuchsias, miscanthus, berberis, sedums, helenium and, of course, roses, all providing sumptuous colour well into autumn. Jay Robin’s Rose Garden, featuring over 750 David Austin English roses, continues to captivate visitors with its colour and fragrance, contrasting nicely with the adjacent Blue Borders, where Symphyotrichum ‘Little Carlow’, S. ‘Monch’ and Aconitum carmichaelii ‘Arendsii’ group take centre stage at this time of year. Don’t miss the Paradise Walk, a perennial border recently designed by Chris Beardshaw, with plantings including Agastache ‘Blue Boa’, Geranium ‘Rozanne’, Eriophyllum lanatum and Actaea 'James Compton.’
Borde Hill’s expert Garden Team will be on hand to answer questions and help visitors find the right plant for the right place.
Opening times 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
