Free admission to the Fair, and reduced admission (£5) to the Gardens during this event. A great time to stock up on plants for the coming season. Lots of specialist plant nurseries exhibiting and stylish garden accessories to choose from. Located in the picturesque walled garden of this former Cistercian Monastery. Enjoy the spectacular carpets of snowdrops in the grounds too! They have been flowering for many weeks and are still looking stunning with the cold weather really suiting them. The giant Rock Garden is a picture as well, full of flowering heathers, cyclamen and crocus so there is plenty to enjoy in the extensive garden. For more information visit: www.fordeabbey.co.uk
