On the 23rd and 24th of June was the wonderful Woburn Abbey Garden Show. A show that is familiar with us, having been to several of its previous editions, we always had a great time, plus it was on our 'neck of the woods' so we were just all too happy to go again.
To quote their press release:
Woburn Abbey is delighted to announce that BBC Gardeners’ World TV presenter Adam Frost and BBC Radio 4 Gardeners’ Question Time panellist Pippa Greenwood are headlining this year’s remastered Woburn Abbey Garden Show on 23rd and 24th June.
Now in its 9th year, the ‘Gardeners’ Garden Show’ attracts around 5,000 visitors and has become an important diary date for gardening enthusiasts.
Set just over an hour from London in 42-acres of the Abbey’s beautifully landscaped gardens, the show offers unparalleled access to award-winning exhibitors and nurseries that have been handpicked by Woburn. The displays are complemented by an array of live entertainment, artisan foods, shopping, demonstrations, informative talks and gardening advice, tips and tours.
We have seen this show grow from strength to strength each year, with this year seeming to have a record turn out. But with the show in generous grounds there was plenty of space for everyone.
It's a delightful garden show and plant fair, in a stunning setting that once you have perused the show attractions, you also have the grounds to explore. And with the beautiful weather that weekend, was also a great place to just sit down, relax and soak in on the atmosphere.
As we left the show with our plant purchases in tow were both thinking that we can't wait to go again next year!
