Award winning designer to speak at Hillier wholesale days

Hillier Garden Centre and Nurseries stages its wholesaler trade days on 7 and 8 February.

The programme each day includes a welcome from Robert Hillier OBE, tours of the various nurseries and a talk from special guest, Sarah Eberle, who is designing the Hillier garden for the 2017 Chelsea Flower Show.

In 2016 Sarah Eberle became the most decorated designer in the history of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show when she received a gold medal with the ‘Hillier in Spring’ garden.

The wholesaler days event will start at 9am with a tour of the Brentry Nursery glasshouse, followed by a tour of the Woodland's Specimen Nursery and a presentation from the head of research and development.

Before lunch guests will be taken to the Sir Harold Hillier Arborteum for talks from guest speakers, including Sarah, who will talk about her experiences as a Chelsea Flower Shower designer. After lunch guests will be able to explore the nursery and view plant trends for the year ahead.

Chris Francis, Hillier’s wholesale and retail director, said: "Our open days are always a great chance for us to meet with customers and for them to explore the nurseries. We are delighted to be joined by Sarah this year as one of our guest speakers and look forward to hearing her speak about her Chelsea experiences. She might even reveal details about the 2017 design!"

The open days are invitation only, but if you would like to attend, you can contact the sales team on 01794 368733 or click here to email them
