LOOKING AHEAD TO 2021!
AUTUMN 2020
We’re delighted to announce we are already in planning for Toby’s Garden Festival 2021 and exhibitor applications are now open.
We look forward to welcoming you back to Powderham Castle on Friday 30th April and Saturday 1st May 2021.

SEE YOU IN 2021!

QUALITY NURSERIES
You can buy the best selection of plants, shrubs, trees and flowers, interesting and unusual plants from our award-winning nurseries, including many Chelsea Gold Medal winners. All the nurseries are genuine growers dedicated to offering the highest quality plants.

STREET FOOD
Each year we curate the highest quality range of local food and drink we can find, much of it produced in Devon and the West Country, with plenty for special diets including alternatives for vegan and vegetarian diets, lactose-intolerant and gluten-free. We’ll be announcing who’s joining us for 2020 in the spring, in the meantime here’s who cooked up a treat in 2020.

We’re back in 2021!
If a single silver lining has shone out during the Covid-cancellations, it’s that our love of gardening has grown.
Gardens and the wildlife they nurture have offered a counterpoint to the challenges faced over the garden fence and for so many have become fundamentally important.
We’ve always supported growers, local food-producers, makers and Mother Nature, bringing a family of the best together to create a memorable day out for our visitors.
With so many events cancelled the pent-up appetite for plants, garden décor and decorations has never been greater while the potential of gardens to top up our spirits, never more vital.
So, while 2020 was quiet on the festival-front we’ve been busy researching and working with the Council, our event organisers and safety team to stage a revitalised and secure Fest for 2021.
It’s been a long time coming… but I hope you will join us in the Spring.
