If you appreciate garden plants and genuine hand-made crafts, then you may like to know of a unique event taking place on Sunday 26th April. The attractive gardens at Wyken Hall, Stanton will once again be hosting an annual plant and crafts fair, in aid of the local wildlife organisation, the Stanton Woodland and Wildlife Action Group. Gardeners and craft enthusiasts will find an eclectic mix of growers, artists and artisans, happily demonstrating their plants, artworks and crafts. The garden is a truly inspirational setting for this unique combination of plants, and craftwork. Local talented craft-workers from across the region will once again be showing off their techniques and their finished products. Metalwork is one of the more unusual materials represented, and this includes some stunning architectural pieces from Designs In Metal from Stowlangtoft (often seen from the B1088). Some of these will be strategically placed throughout the gardens so they can be appreciated in their intended context. There will also be woodworkers and leather-workers, and the more homely crafts of stitch-work, crochet and ceramics will be represented too. Plant nurseries will be attending from across Suffolk with a great range of plants including herbs, unusual trees for the garden, cottage garden plants, fruit

varieties, and flowering shrubs. Growers will be on hand to give plenty of advice and tips. Amongst them will also be garden designers and specialists with Royal Horticultural Society experience. If the crafts and plants aren’t enough of an attraction, the beautiful gardens surrounding the hall will certainly make a visit worthwhile, all included in the admission price of just £2. The gardens have areas of topiary, woodland walks, herbaceous borders, lawns and vegetable plots, whilst peacocks and ornamental hens wander at their leisure amongst the orchard trees. The event runs from 10am to 5pm.
