Quotes about the Garden Show:
John and Jan Dawson of Sheringham, who brought their 5 year old grandson last year, wrote to Woodgate Nursery to say ‘We very much enjoyed the show as well as lunch in the tearoom and the purchase of some gorgeous plants. It was lovely to have something for the children to do and our grandson was particularly taken with the birds of prey and loved the display. He was also very proud of the seeds he took home’
Peter Purdy, Woodgate Nursery owner said about the show ‘We hope that it gives everyone, from the novice to the experienced gardener the opportunity to access a broad range of expert gardening advice for free, whilst also being a fun day out for all the family and helping to raise some money for a good cause…’
