New Stourhead feature at Gardening Show
A new exciting highlight at this year's Gardening Show will be the National Trust Stourhead Estate feature.
This will be themed to Greener Gardens and will consist of a special flower workshop designed to help you create and make your own flowers from recycled materials. Taking place in an open-fronted marquee decorated as a garden, there will be lots of intriguing crafty materials to help inspire you and a tree on which to hang your greener garden pledge.
Take a digital photo of your flower and upload it onto the plant in time website for your chance to win some fantastic prizes, including a £1000 holiday cottage break and the opportunity to have a rose variety named after you.
There will also be a veggie plot, a potting shed complete with tools, together with potting work in action, and a feature on the best composting methods. Children can also have a go at naming the Stourhead scarecrow which was made with pupils from a local primary school. The prize is a great goodie bag, so get your thinking caps on!
Throughout the event, the Stourhead team will be on hand to answer all your questions and tell you more about the Estate's glorious heritage and gardens.
And the final incentive to go and meet the Stourhead team at the show, is all the exciting free goodies which they will be giving out to visitors.
