Held in a delightful, private family garden in the middle of Markyate village, you could not wish for a better venue in which to select your summer bedding plants.
Gardeners can choose from over 5000 plants, enjoy the entertainment, hear about the work of the Hospice of St Francis or purchase greeting cards and other items from the Hospice stall. There will also be a raffle with prizes such as handmade garden ornaments, lunch at one of our country pubs, a coach trip and other desirable prizes.
Your children will be entertained whilst you enjoy the very best freshly-brewed ground coffee or tea served with a variety of cakes and biscuits. You can relax with your friends whilst listening to gentle live music in a country garden. Picnic lunches will give you yet another reason to extend your stay.
This is Markyate’s Party of the Year freely open to all who love their gardens and the Hospice of St Francis. The ‘Plant Sale’ – as Markyate knows it – has been supporting the Hospice for more than half its thirty-two years, making ever greater donations to its remarkable work.
