Scampston Autumn Plant Fair Sunday 9th October 2011

For all you plant lovers and garden enthusiasts I just thought that I would let you know that Scampston Autumn Plant Fair will take place on Sunday 9th October 2011 at The Walled Garden at Scampston.

More than a dozen specialist nurseries and stalls selling garden related items will be attending the Plant Fair on Sunday 9 October. All of the stalls will have excellent plants and products for sale and refreshments will be available all day both on the plant fair field and at The Garden Restaurant.

Scampston Hall is the home to the stunning Walled Garden and Grounds, the beautiful contemporary garden, the gardens only became open to the public for the first time in 2004, people visit from all over the world and it has been received with great acclaim.

In 2006 The House and Garden were featured in the television series 'Hidden Treasure Houses' on Five.

Open for a short period during the late spring, and sitting in its own, more traditional gardens, the Hall is one of the finest country houses in Yorkshire.

Lovingly restored by the Legards, it is a family home and contains many fine works of art, furniture and china.

Why not treat yourself to a few days away, here at Valley View Farm Cottages, as we are just 27 miles away from the Walled Garden at Scampston.
