High Street, Tattenhall, Cheshire, United Kingdom
Lucy Hunter April’s talk will be a demonstration by Lucy Hunter of how she makes her exquisite flower arrangements. Although 'flower arrangements' doesn't really do either Lucy or the arrangements any justice as there's so much more to it than flowers in a vase. You can find out more on her website https://www.lucyhunter.co.uk/ or on instagram https://www.instagram.com/lucytheflowerhunter/?hl=en

The Barbour Institute - The Millfield
High Street, Tattenhall, Cheshire, United Kingdom
Plant Sale On the Millfield next to the Barbour Institute. Come and bag yourself some plant bargains, plus there's always the chance of acquiring some rarity you've been after for ages. Plus growing advice , of course! Donations of plants are gratefully accepted, so please can we ask for your generosity once again in potting up spare bits of plants or seedlings? If you have anything to drop off, please can you bring it to the Millfield between 9.00-10.30? The earlier the better as we will need time to sort and price donations before the opening time. Labels with the plant name and variety are always appreciated. This year we are going to tape off the sales area until 10.30am, so although you're very welcome to look around before the Sale opens we won't be reserving plants or doing advance sales. This is so that everyone who turns up on time has a fair chance of being able to bag their selections. Profits from the Plant Sale help to pay for the Village Show
