Nursery to run plant stall for charity at garden festival
 

Staff from Wyevale Nurseries have organised a plant stall for the Hellens Garden Festival in Much Marcle next weekend (10-11 June) in aid of a local hospice and primary school.

Kyle Ross, the firm’s management trainee, will also attend, to give a talk on the five common pests and diseases that effect plant health.

A keynote speaker at the festival will be Sir Roy Strong, sharing his creative journey during the past 30 years creating his award-winning Laskett Gardens. Other speakers include allotment guru Terry Walton, and award-winning show garden designer Hannah Genders.

Adrian Hoare, Garden Design & Domestic Landscape Sales Manager at Wyevale Nurseries in Hereford, said: “We’re delighted to announce that we are sponsoring the Hellens Garden Festival. As well as the plant stall, Kyle Ross, our Management Trainee, is also attending the festival to give a talk on the five common pests and diseases, which effect plant health, followed by a question and answer session.

“During the two-day festival, there will be lots of talks, seminars and interactive workshops and demonstrations. One of the key note speakers will be Sir Roy Strong, sharing his creative journey during the past 30 years of his award-winning Laskett Gardens.

“We hope our plant stall in aid of St Michael’s Hospice and Eastnor Primary School is a success. We will be selling a range of seasonally interesting herbaceous plants and shrubs.”

The festival’s theme this year is ‘Growing Today for All Our Tomorrows’.
