The ever-popular Specialist Autumn Plant Fair returns to Borde Hill on Sunday 21st September from 10am to 3pm. Hosted by the Plant Fairs Roadshow, a collective of independent specialist nurseries, visitors can expect an extraordinary lineup of locally grown, garden-worthy and unusual plants from leading growers from across the South East, including several RHS exhibitors, in a series of beautiful stalls on the Azalea Ring.
Borde Hill's gardening team will be available throughout the event to offer invaluable horticultural advice to visitors, helping them find the right plant for the right place – a chance to put your burning horticultural questions to the experts!
Late summer is a great time to visit the Garden, with dahlias, Japanese anemones, hydrangeas, fuchsias, miscanthus, berberis, sedums, helenium and, of course, roses, all providing sumptuous colour well into autumn. Jay Robin's Rose Garden, with its 750 plus David Austin English roses, continues to captivate visitors with its colour and fragrance, and contrasts well with the adjacent Blue Borders, where Symphyotrichum 'Little Carlow', S. 'Monch' and Aconitum carmichaelii 'Arendsii' group all take centre stage at this time of year.
And don't miss Paradise Walk, a perennial border recently designed by Chris Beardshaw with plantings including Agastache 'Blue Boa', Geranium 'Rozanne', Eriophyllum lanatum and Actaea 'James Compton.'
