It’s about time I offered a give-away, I think. So, in a bizarre coincidence, here is one.
April will see the launch of the brand new Ascot Spring Garden Show. Aimed at keen gardeners and plants people, Ascot will be an annual horticultural event held at the famous racecourse, in association with The Savill Garden and The Valley Gardens of Windsor Great Park.
The 2018 show includes:
- 34 specialist plant nurseries
- Six show gardens designed and built by established and up-and-coming professional designers; and a further six gardens designed and built by students from horticultural colleges as part of TV Gardener David Domoney’s Young Gardeners of the Year Competition
- A great range of garden trade stands to browse and purchase from, including greenhouses, horticultural tools and equipment, garden furniture, sculpture and statuary
- A lively programme of speakers in the dedicated Talks Theatre, featuring David Domoney, Simon Lycett and the keepers of the Gardens of Windsor Great Park
Ascot racecourse is a superbly equipped venue with local railway station, free car parking and state of the art facilities. The event includes the key features you would expect at a large garden show and it is also the first major one of the year offering plants for sale in the south-east of England.
The Ascot Spring Show runs from Friday 13th to Sunday 15th April. For more information and to buy tickets visit www.ascot.co.uk/gardenshow. Advanced tickets price – £20, on the day price – £24.
But put aside that credit card, I have two free tickets up for grabs. For your chance to visit on Sunday 15th simply say you want to enter in the “Any Thoughts” box below. That’s all there is to it.
You can also enter via Twitter or Facebook – check my Twitter feed and Facebook page for details.
Please note that prize tickets can only be posted to a UK postal address. However, if you live overseas you may still enter, and if successful, collect your tickets on arrival.
The competition will close at midnight on Sunday 11th March 2018.
I’ll draw a name from my hat, contact the winner and add the result to the bottom of this post.
Viel Glück! Good luck! Bonne chance!
(Whilst this isn’t a sponsored post, I have been given two tickets to attend the event).
oooOOOooo
I saw this event advertised too late to act on it, was it worth going? I’ll definitely look out for it next year.

Unfortunately, Jane, I didn’t go. I’m in the middle of a house move and on the day I was house-hunting. D

How wonderful!
Especially since there are bound to be gaps in every garden where the cold snap has killed things off.
Yes please!
