Fergus has been asking us to go to their spring plant fair for a number of years so we booked it all in and worried about how we could make it work latter!
Ours is only a smallish van so trying to get 325 climbing plants in 2lt containers in it is quite a challenge

Went around the gardens on Saturday evening before being fed and watered by Fergus and his helpers, chatting to the various students and volunteers, it was refreshing to see younger faces at a plant sale
