A POPULAR plant fair is set to return to Arley Arboretum this Bank Holiday Monday.

Plant hunters will be able to check out a wide selection of specialist plant nurseries at the free event.

Martin Blow of Plant Hunters Fairs said: “As spring turns to summer it’s a great time to fill the gaps left by spring bulbs.

"We have a wonderful line-up of specialist nurseries attending with plants to suit novice gardeners as well as those rarer gems for the plant connoisseur.

"There will be plants of the moment for instant impact as well as later-blooming species to get planted now for a succession of colour.

"The plant fair is the perfect place to get some exciting new plants without having to break the bank. If you need some advice to help you choose then there are nursery folk on hand to help, each an expert in their field with years of knowledge and experience, and full of helpful tips, so why not come along to Arley Arboretum for some blooming inspiration.”

The plant fair will be open from 10am to 4pm on Bank Holiday Monday, May 27.
