Exciting New Garden Show At Holdenby!
Holdenby Garden Show sponsored by Haddonstone: Sat 9th and Sun 10th May 2009
This summer sees the launch of a fantastic new event that is to be of interest to
all those who love gardens and outdoor living. The Holdenby Garden Show sponsored
by Haddonstone, will take place in the middle of May, just outside Northampton in
a beautiful country house setting.
The Grade I listed gardens of Holdenby House make the perfect location for an event
that everyone interested in gardens and outdoor living will be putting in their
diaries. With top quality plants and shrubs, essential garden equipment and unique
garden gifts all featuring in the show’s line up, the Holdenby Garden Show sponsored
by Haddonstone promises to be a wonderful day out for the whole family.
For those people wanting to learn more about different aspects of gardening, the
talks and demonstration programme will be of great interest. From how to create
a simple, yet stunning floral arrangement, to how to maximise your own gardens potential,
plus other more exotic subject matters, Holdenby will be the place to find out!
There will also be plenty of opportunity to find out how to get involved in local
gardening societies and green initiatives in the local area.
Haddonstone, renowned creators of fine garden and landscape ornaments, fireplaces
and architectural cast stone, is the sponsor of the event. ‘We are delighted to
be the title sponsors of this new garden show’ explained Simon Scott, Haddonstone’s
Marketing Director. ‘Holdenby House is a wonderful backdrop to such an event, and
suits our beautiful range of garden ornaments perfectly’ he said.
Haddonstone’s stunning show gardens in East Haddon will also be open to coincide
with the Holdenby Garden Show. Rarely open to the public at the weekend, visitors
will have the chance to discover the hidden treasures that Haddonstone is able to
create. Located just two miles from Holdenby House in Church Lane, East Haddon,
these show gardens will be open 12 noon – 5pm each day.
Holdenby House itself, which dates back to 1583, will also be open to the public
on both days of the event, a real treat to see inside a privately owned country
home and discover the hidden art and treasures inside. The admission to the house
is included in the admission fee of the show and will be open from 12 noon – 5pm
each day.
‘This new Garden Show will be a great day out for all the family’ explained Caroline
Houghton, one of the event organisers from Stonehouse Events. ‘You will not have
to be an expert gardener to enjoy the show as there will be something for everyone!’
she said.
Live music, delicious refreshments and children’s activities will all be part of
the Holdenby Garden Show sponsored by Haddonstone, and is open 11am – 5pm on Saturday
