Cottesbrooke Hall Plant Finders Fair is open daily from 10am-5.30pm from Friday 25th until Sunday the 27th  of June.  In its third year this fair in Northamptonshire is shaping up to be the English equivalent of Courson outside Paris and Bingerden in Holland.  In other words it is charming, in a beautiful setting and focuses on providing a showcase for dozens of respected specialist nurseries and outstanding garden accessories not generally available at other shows. New for 2010 there will also be the opportunity to hear talks from experts such as Dan Pearson, Garden and Landscape Designer with an international reputation (Saturday), James Alexander-Sinclair, Garden Designer and Broadcaster (Friday), and Alys Fowler of BBC Gardeners World fame (Sunday).  For more up to date show information visit our events section.
