Gringley Gardens Open and Classic Car Display

Every 2nd year the beautiful village of Gringley on the Hill hosts its Open Gardens And Classic Car show.

Various gardens around the village are opened to the public (typically 6-8 gardens), the Community Centre (inside trade stalls), Church and playing fields which hosts the classic cars and outdoor trade stands. Cars will be displayed on the playing field, where there will be a bar, hot and cold food, toilets and a number of trade stalls (30 in 2022). Unfortunately, dogs are not permitted on the playing field. There will be transport around the village to the most remote gardens etc.

We will be bringing our range of Lincolnshire grown hardy garden plants including herbs, alpines, shrubs and herbaceous perennials along with peat free compost etc. Our stall will be on the playing fields where the classic cars are displayed.

Normanby Hall Country Fayre

Join us at the Normanby Hall Country Fayre where we will have a wide range of competitively priced herbs, alpines and perennials. We should also have our range of top quality Spring Flowering Bulbs for sale as well. August & September are ideal months to plant perennials and bulbs in your garden as they will settle in quickly. Keep them watered during dry spells and they will quickly establish and overwinter ready to produce an exceptional display next year.

The Normanby Hall Country Fayre is an excellent event. Not only do you get to shop from a wide range of stalls and food suppliers you can also explore the hall and grounds as well.

Admission charges may apply. See the Normanby Hall website/social media for details.

Iris chrysographes Black Form

We took advantage of the better weather today to lift and divide our Iris chrysographes Black form plants. These are beautiful Iris plants with flowers of such a dark purple they’re very nearly black!

Even with the recent cold weather there were signs of fresh growth buds. We have put the pots into a cold frame to protect them whilst they settle in.
