Spring is bursting at the seams, and all the garden clubs are celebrating by holding their annual shows. Many plants are offered for sale at cheap prices. Another good reason to go to these events is you can have a chat to the people who grow the particular plant and get some good information. Here is a list of Spring garden shows with plant sales coming up over the coming weeks.
