Local members of the ‘Flowers from the Farm’ artisan cut flowers association will be a key feature at Downham Hall when the Gardens open to the public on Sunday 7th August.
Kirsten Mackay of Henthorn Farm Flowers, Lois Pearson from Country Girl Flowers, Sara Barrow from Flowers with Passion, and Tracey Graham of the Mindful Seasonalist have joined flower and foliage supplier the Downham Estate to celebrate the organisation’s annual ‘Big Weekend’ and raise much needed money for charity.
As well as informal tours of the kitchen and cutting gardens and borders and advice from the expert florists and growers, a number of Ribble Valley plant growers will be at the event including the award-winning Holden Clough Nursery. The Langden Grill Food Truck will be on-site providing delicious food all day (10-4), with afternoon teas and cakes additionally available in the courtyard from 2 onwards.
English sparkling wine in the Rose Garden, Mrs Dowson’s ice creams, the popular ‘Human Fruit Machine’, children’s activities, music and lots of locally made craft products – including Mountain Croft Living fleeces – will all add to the festival atmosphere. There will be information stands run by local environmental groups, as well as Rosemere Cancer Foundation who, along with Downham Village Hall, will receive all profits from the event.
