Alternatively, why not make it a really special day and treat yourself to a VIP ticket, with a delicious lunch prepared by Feniton Foods, a free glass of fizz and a goody bag (courtesy of VIP sponsor Hawksmoor Investment Management) all in the salubrious surroundings of Powderham’s beautiful library and music room. Here you can relax and enjoy the views of the magnificent deer park and the sparkling Exe estuary, accompanied by music, VIP speakers and friends of the festival. Find out more about our VIP Experience.

This year, we’re delighted Joe Swift and Frances Tophill of BBC Gardeners’ World fame are joining us as speakers. Joe is well-known to visitors of the festival, not least because he is a past speaker, but also for his garden design insights on the BBC coverage of the RHS Chelsea and Hampton Court Flower Shows. Frances hails from Kent, but is now based near Exeter so has a practical knowledge of gardening issues faced by West Country gardeners.

We’re also introducing a second two-day speaker programme in the shape of our new Country Gardener Talks Tent which will be hosted by many of the knowledgeable nurserymen and women who exhibit at the festival. Talk topics so far confirmed include orchids, clematis, herbaceous perennials and exotic plants, and talks are free to festival visitors.

Tickets will also be available to buy from Urban & Rural, the plant centre at Powderham Castle and the Tourist Information Office in Exeter nearer the time from Easter.

Do come and join us!
